Smerel – I would say your response is insulting and full of ignorance. R. Lieberman was meticulous about observance – read Marc Shapiro book The Orthodox and Saul Lieberman and how the Gedolim of his day addressed him with reverence. Some, avoided him because of JTS – some used his work and in the footnotes wrote “unknown source.” ON Heschel – not Herschel – he too was meticulous and his work and list of accomplishments for the Jewish world will dwarf most. His mere presence and his work influenced many to become frum and some even to convert.Today, he is experiencing a renaissance here and in Israel, including in the Frum world. Before you make judgements in print know of whom you are speaking.
