If you want to know about the yeshiva world – talk to the guys who learn in yeshiva. Not the ones who are stragglers who hang out outside beis medrash. Not the ones who daven withoit hats and jackets who happen to be in Lakewood for one reason or another.
Talk to the core, center of lomdei yeshivos and kolelim. While you’re at it, talk to roshei yeshiva and roshei kolel. They won’t tell you that rabbi kook is more poular than before. They won’t tell you necessarily that he’s the way I’m describing, because like i said, most talmidei chachamim have better things to do with their time than ponder the legitimacy of someone they don’t have any connections with. It’s history, and it interesrs some people! Myself included, but my interest is due to my interactions with teenagers who are at risk of being affected by rabbi kook and others. I don’t talk about rabbi kook with my yeshiva friends, chavrusos, or anyone else for that matter, because there’s no need. No one is “gores” him.
