old man: I did say he was a tremendous Talmid Chacham who was well-respected by his peers. I didn’t feel a need to go into any detail. As a funny anecdote, before I had seen his Sefarim I was once in a Chareidi Gadol’s house and noticed a blue Sefer with duct tape covering just the bottom half of the binding. A few years later I realized that that was him covering the JTS logo on the Tosefta Kipshuta.
