Avira – I try to be respectful, but you need to be respectful of tzaddikim who are much greater than you whom you cannot fathom.

IIt is simply unfathomable that he said the Rebbe wasn’t a gadol batorah.
Just watch a frabrengen, the rebbe literally rattles off sources after sources and sayings and teachings from all over Torah, it is pashut unfathomable to say such a thing.
From Rav Pinchos Hirschprung: “There are two things which set the Rebbe apart,” Rabbi Hirschprung cited. “The Rebbe’s Torah knowledge and that he is the true leader of the generation. Pinchas Hirschprung is not impressed by the title ‘gaon’ [Torah giant]. He knows who deserves the title. And I am telling you that there is nobody like the Rebbe, not only in our generation but even in earlier generations. I was with the gaon Rabbi Meir Shapiro in Lublin, with the gaon Rabbi Menachem Zemba, and all the gaonim of the previous generation. I found no one comparable to the Rebbe’s greatness in all areas of Torah.”
