Please tell me how in the world some gedolim can hold others are not gedolim? Gedolim are Gedolim. Gedolim don’t look for honor and kavod, they run away from kavod. I would be really surprised to hear that gedolim just say that ‘the Lubavitcher Rebbe isn’t a Gadol’ just because they disagree.
Avira, I knew who was Rav Vosner was, and he is in fact chassidish. The Yehsiva I was in defnitely had pictures of Chassidishe Rebbes, and they were still considered gedolim.
I do have to admit, that a regular Lubvitcher Boy from Oholei Torah in Crown Heights won’t know that many Gedolim. You need to know where they are coming from. All they see from the Litvishe World is misnagdus, and sadly they think all litivsh ‘hate’ Lubavitch. Now, I don’t think any of you ‘hate’ Lubavitch, even though you have some bad feelings towards them, but the way lubavitcher kids see it is they always openly oppose lubavitchers, and it grows bad feelings towards the litvish.
Now, I’m not saying that they should be, but that is what is happening. If anyone has any solutions to this ‘massive’ problem, then please reply without jumping to conclusions based on the fact I haven’t answered anyone since I’m not on this 24/6.
