AND you have no proof they DID regret their decision
I agree, that’s my point- you cannot bring them as proof that they condoned college later on in life, when they may have regretted it.
in my eyes Rabbi Aryeh Kaplan, Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz, Rabbi Noah Weinberg ARE Gedolim>
We will have to agree to disagree on this point then as I am fairly certain that both Rav Kaplan and Rav Weinberg would submit themselves to Rav Elyashiv.
You have no right to say that, if that is my own experience
These are not my own ideas. I was just reiterating ideas brought by TMB in his summary of Rav Moshe’s speech.
re: he Rambam, Seforno, et al.:
First of all, even though the Rambam and Seforno went to university- it would seem they are the minority opinion on this matter.
Second, I do not know who Rabbis Hildeshimer and Herzog are. I tried googling them and found the following:
Rabbi Azriel Hildesheimer- “He is regarded as a pioneering modernizer of Orthodox Judaism in Germany and as a founder of Modern Orthodox Judaism.”
Rabbi Yizchak HaLevi Herzog- “Indeed, his writings helped shaped the attitude of the Religious Zionist Movement toward the State of Israel.”
I am going to plead the fifth on Rabbi Soloveitchik.
This only leaves Rav Shimshon Refael Hirsch.
