Definitely at one time e/o held Rav Kook to be an Odom Godol, but he kept going off more and more. R’ Gorelick zt’l was quoted as saying he heard it directly from the CC. If you look at the letter -the SIL was living in EY at the time -so quite probably the CC did say it, but the SIL had no way of knowing.
BTW, how come the YU guys picked up the Zionists’ philosophy from JB – how come they didn’t become Antizionists from R’ Gorelick zt’l?
