Reply To: Setting up a MO girl with a serious Lakewood bochur = good idea or not?

People feel the need to revise history and sanitize all gedolim from any perceived imperfections that may diminish their gadlus in our tiny eyes, not realizing that all gedolim had imperfections, from Moshe hitting the rock to tannoyim and certainly their wives (who were not gedolim) had imperfections. That is what made them gedolim and not malachim.

You accept perceived imperfections in gedolim that you are not machshiv, but battle historical facts against any imperfection of a gadol that you revere. Even if it means denying what Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer said about his neice, the wife of Rav Shach and denying photos that were printed.
