Reply To: About the RCA, I do shudder.

rob: You are wrong. The only place where R’ Goren is on the level of the other major Gedolim is in your mind. I (and many others) have learned his Seforim and his contemporaries’ Seforim. He’s not there. Other (more or less) Dati L’umi Poskim were accepted by their contemporaries as major Poskim (R’ Uziel, R’ Unterman, R’ Hertzog, the Yaskil Avdi, R’ Aviner, R’ Rimon,even R’ Amar is pretty L’umi). There’s a reason R’ Goren wasn’t on that level and it’s not politics.
