@RSo
Do you happen to realize that based on your definitive standard for a ‘gadol’ …. many of the Talmidei HaBaal Shem Tov Hakadosh would be far from ‘Gdolim’ (עפ”ל)
Shall we start with……..R’ Nachman M’breslov?
I believe you have written on this thread that you belong to a ‘chassidic’ group. However seeing how you have a lack of knowledge of basic texts (Shas, Rambam etc.), and misconstrue them at will (the Gemara in Chullin did not say anything about staying in golus) I do not expect you to have knowledge of the history of Chassidism.
