Reply To: The Chofetz Chaim’s Best Friend — How not to be friends or a spouse

ZG: I think it is unfair of you to accuse ChabadShlucha of lying and of revising bio history of rabbis, rebbes, ravs or tzaddikim. Neither she nor HaGaon HaRav Avigdor Miller zichrono tzaddik l’vracha did any such thing.

That said, when you wrote about the tzaddikim that “They played ball, chess, fought at school like the rest” I realized why you’re making all your errors in your comments here. You mistakenly assumed that HaGaon HaRav Miller zt’l when speaking about the Chofetz Chaim zt’l, as well as Rav Miller’s broader comments in the OP on this topic, are referring to children. As such you correctly point out that as children before they became great tzaddikim most probably indeed played games and maybe even fought.

But you missed the whole point of this important topic and discussion. We aren’t taking about children here! We’re talking about adults; Bnei Torah. And I assure you that the “rabbis, rebbes, ravs, tzaddikim” among us did not and do not play idle games and shoot breeze with friends, let alone fight like children.
