Reply To: Who is Rav Shlomo Kanievsky? Is he being groomed to be the next Godol HaDor?

Because we live in the age of “Gadol Hador” “Sar Hatorah” “Poseik Hador”. Our generation has a nearly pathological need for these figures so we can worship them and give up any individual responsibility for ourselves. No need to do anything when you can have the Gadol Hador decide everything for you.
