Correction to my earlier post about Rov Soloveitchik z’tz’l: He never stopped learning Torah; he just wasn’t *employed* as a rabbi while in school. While in Berlin he learned with Rabbi Chaim Heller, Rabbi Yitzchak Hutner, and Rabbi Yechiel Yaakov Weinberg. Late in life he told a talmid that he accepted every halachic position of Rav Weinberg except the permission to stun animals prior to shechita (which in any case was never actually implemented).
