Which Gedolei Yisroel and Rabbonim are today’s kanoim?
November 3, 2018 8:22 pm at 8:22 pm #1615879ToiParticipantThe people covered regularly in Lehovin…
November 3, 2018 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #1616107JosephParticipantHaGaon HaRav Aharon Feldman shlit”a?
November 3, 2018 10:04 pm at 10:04 pm #1616108JosephParticipantHaGaon HaRav Shlomo Eliyahu Miller shlit”a?
November 3, 2018 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm #16161181ParticipantRav Avrohom Schorr who might be the greatest rabbi in Brooklyn is not afraid to say his opinions.
November 3, 2018 10:05 pm at 10:05 pm #16161191ParticipantToday any rabbi who’ll say no to a rich person would be considered a kanoi.
November 3, 2018 11:36 pm at 11:36 pm #1616130GadolhadorahParticipantBefore nominating anyone, it would help to have a common definition of what we mean by a kanoi. A kanoi in my mind is someone who is ready, at any moment, and nothwithdstanding the cost to him/her self to perform ratzon Hashem. Specifically, I think in terms of someone who is a kanoi for ddas torah and dvar Hashem. a kanoi in ahavas haTorah. a kanoi in ahavas Hashem. and perhaps most importantly, a kanoi in achdus and ahavas Yisrael. When you think about the cumulative attributes of a true kanoi, the list gets considerably shorter as you check off each box.

November 3, 2018 11:40 pm at 11:40 pm #16161491ParticipantGH,
You just said that you don’t know what the definition is, yet you said that it’s defined by undefined word in a variety of ways. You are confused.
November 4, 2018 1:17 am at 1:17 am #1616164Avi KParticipantWhat about a kanai in mitzot ben adam l’chavero? What about a kanai in kiddush Hashem through honest dealings with the government and non-Jews?
November 4, 2018 4:23 pm at 4:23 pm #1616641JosephParticipantBen adam l’makom is no less important than ben adam l’chavero.
November 4, 2018 5:04 pm at 5:04 pm #1616680MDGParticipant1,
GH was just giving her definition, which she acknowledged as her own.
November 4, 2018 9:46 pm at 9:46 pm #1616779Reb EliezerParticipantJoseph, If there is a choice between the two, ben odom lachavero comes first, see the Midrash Shmuel on איזהו דרך ישרה שיבור לו האדם because it is also a ben odom lamokam.
November 4, 2018 9:47 pm at 9:47 pm #1616784hashemelechParticipantRabbi Mordechai Aderet shilita
November 4, 2018 9:52 pm at 9:52 pm #1616799Doing my bestParticipantRabbi Aderet is now the biggest kanoi of the day.
November 4, 2018 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #1616822JosephParticipantlaskern: There’s usually no conflict with keeping both fully.
November 4, 2018 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #1616825JosephParticipantRav Chaim Kanievsky.
November 4, 2018 11:15 pm at 11:15 pm #1616841CTRebbeParticipantAll I know about Rabbi Aderet is the video posting about his comments regarding the Pittsburgh massacre. If we use Gadol Hadorah’s definition that would not seem to fit.
