Reply To: Validity of Vilna Gaon's Cherem Against Chassidim

PBA- I cited earlier the ma’amor chazal “Moshe shapir ko’amrat” that the godol is actually EVEN called Moshe.

kohaingadol – Rabeinu Yonah and the strong (at times “disrespectful”) Hasogas HaRa’avad are all with a cheshbon that we, simple people cannot comprehend.

But c”v to suggest that Rabeinu Yonah was “mistaken” (at a level that we call mistakes). If gedolim and poskim can (and according to you, they actually DO) make mistakes, that undermines the entire foundation of Yiddishkeit (- as the Haskalah and Reform claim that turning on a light CANNOT be a melacha b’shabbos etc.) leading to total kfirah.
