“The correct term is Hagiography, not Biography.”
“The only people who claim it is a biography don’t know that the word hagiography exists. Blame the Yeshiva system for not teaching English.”
You realize that being a hagiography does not exclude something from being a biography. It is like saying it is not a fruit it is a red apple.
As Rabbi Meriamm-Webster defines hagiography:
1: BIOGRAPHY of saints or venerated persons
2: idealizing or idolizing biography
Before you rant about the Heiliga “Yeshiva system for not teaching English”, use a dictionary.
