@Always_Ask_Questions I didn’t mean for this to be a whole argument. I was just using Rav Hirsch as one example of how frum people don’t just wholesale translate and/or publish every time a Rov sneezes. You mentioned Rav Moshe, that’s a really good example. The last Chelek of Iggros Moshe was put out by his children and not him. Rav Moshe clearly did not want all of his unedited letters public, and there’s now a minor machlokes if the Feinstein family can make the decision as to how Rav Moshe would have wanted the letters released. Notably, his letter on brain death: Rav Moshe Sherer ZT”L insisted that Rav Moshe Feinstein ZT”L reversed his decision later on, but his children disagree.
Again, I’m not saying we should ignore the writings of dead gedolim. But they should be viewed as the lighthouses that guide us through the sea. But it is our living teachers being the ones who are driving the boat and tell us how and when to turn, and which lights are meant for different people.
