I protest. Someone was surprised a Chabad site quotes Rabbi Feinstein…?
You live a very sheltered life.
My Chabad shule quotes the Steipler Gaon. I know an Ashkanazi haredi who frequently quotes the Ben Ish Chai.
The chabad vs ashkanazi vs sefardi mentality ended eons ago.
Myself, a Chabad, I know more stores of the Steipler Gaon’s life and halachic responsa of Rabbi Feinstein than ashkanazis. I remember their astonishment. Quite funny, actually.
The old division was a waste of time. Are there separate sections in Gan Edan for sefardi and ashkanazi speakers?
Same ocean. Different boat. Ha!
