Smerel, your response borders on insulting and one of demeaning ignorance. R. Lieberman was meticulous about the Mitzvot and revered by many. Reference Marc Shapiro’s book The Orthodox and Saul Lieberman to see letters from Gedolim and how they addressed him. Some in the Orthodox movement responded as you did because of his affiliation. There is no higher work on the Tosefta – 12 Volumes tosefta ki-fshutah. Dr Shapiro shares work by some Gedolim that use R. Lieberman (also known as the GRash) and the footnotes read “unknow source.” Heschel not Hershel was also extremely meticulous in his observance. His work and influence is truly unequaled in the Jewish World and is now experiencing a renaissance here and Israel and within the Orthodox Community. R. Weinrib told me that the main work we have today on the Kotsker is from Heschel. Heschel presence and work has also influence countless Jews to become Frum and some gentiles to convert. Prior to your judging people in print or media – know from whom you speak.
