Everyone just ignored somejewiknow calling R’ Kook, ‘yemach shemo’
One of the greatest people in history, a gadol who we can’t fathom his greatness, who many gedolei yisroel, some of who completely disagreed with his shitos, still regarded with so much kavod, a tzadik, talmid chochom, gaon, and someone we should all aspire to be like.
Your opinions on hashkafa, halacha, etc. are not shayach when it comes to respecting gedolim. Don’t be mezalzel tzadikim and expect people to listen to you.
