Somehow, your definition of a “hero” seems to be far different from mine.
Needless to say, very few, in any people in the audience were “heroes.” That’s not to say that they weren’t engaged in something beneficial and positive, but doing so does not make one a “hero.”
And if that opinion makes me a spiritual heir of the eruv rav, then fine. I never claimed to be better than the eruv rav. Heck, at least the eruv rav managed to keep Yom Tov, unlike me who, according to a prominent rav in my neighborhood, has not kept Yom Tov for quite a while.
