RYD said that it just so happened that the printer removed the page...<br />I mentioned that to Reb Lazer Katzman before the auction and he (like everybody else who hears this) thought it was preposterous.<br /><br />2: RYD was also asked why the picture of RK was removed from Rav Hutners (RYH) Sukka after hanging there for many years and RYD responded that no harm was intended, Bachurim would decorate the Sukka of RYH every year and it just so happened that one year the Bachurim didn't hang the pic up. <br />But ask around and the story sounds a lot different. I've heard one version where RYH took it down b'fnei kol am v'eidah and made some comments about it...<br />Perhapt "Chaim Berlin Tragedy" can clarify.<br /><br />3- Rav Ahron Schechter (RAS) currently has a picture in his living room of Rav Yosef Chaim and RK. However I doubt if any Talmidim in Yeshiva have any idea who the person with Rav Yosef Chaim is.<br />A friend of mine was once by RAS when somebody asked who was in the picture and RAS responded "Ehrliche Yidden"GitGebakennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-84492463947050131412013-05-03T12:57:37.775-04:002013-05-03T12:57:37.775-04:00Yes Tzig, let's hope...

But I think our suspicions are correct and our hope is hopeless.<br />Especially because the Sefer had an estimated auction price of $400-$600.<br />You see, a efer printed in 1932 is not all that rare and most collectors and dealers have no interest in anything that recent. The real value and significance in the book is that it belonged to Rav Yaakov Weinberg, was given to him as a gift by his mother and has a beautiful inscription from her. And that is what gave it an estimated value of $400-$600.<br />Stefansky is smart and probably knew that he can pawn it off to a CBer (who may want to preserve or revise CB history) for more than the $1,800 that he bid on it. But to anybody else, other than Anonymous on the phone, the Sefer is is not worth all that much.<br />This means that the person who bid on this sefer knew exactly what they were bidding on and that they were willing to pay far more than its value to get it. And I do not know of anybody who is so dead set on preserving RYHs kesher to Rav Kook that they would throw away so much money; but we do know of people who are so dead set on revising that kesher...<br /><br />GitGebakennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-88259442622617736832013-05-03T12:35:45.250-04:002013-05-03T12:35:45.250-04:00thank you for trying.

I have my suspicions as to whom it may have been, and you can all guess who that is.

Moshe Shoenfeld in his addendum to Ikvese D'Mishicha called Daas Torah quotes the CI as having advised a seforim dealer not to sell the sifrei machshava of rav Kook. Likewise, anyone familiar with the Chazon Ishnike crowd knows that the CI was against Rav Kook. If he would not have been then they would not be. Apparently, although at first the CI greatly respected him, and wrote lavish praise in that letter, and there is a famous picture of the CI standing by the chanukas habayis of Beis Yosef yeshiva in Bnei Brak when Rav Kook was talking, nevertheless he must have changed his mind later. Maybe we can get a glimpse of the reason for the change of mind based on the fact that in the election for the Chief Rabbi after Rav Kook was niftar the CI backed Rav Herzog and not R' Charlap, although Rav Charlop was your standard yerushalmi, and Rav Herzog was also "Dr.", but the CI said something to the effect that a person who deals with "nitzotzos" is unpredictable.

He never denied that. In his maamorim, Rav Kook was alluded to by the nickname of "kedoshei elyon". Rav hutner held that rav Kook was the greatest in kabbalah in EY in his time. Also he was a tzaddik and gaon. However, although Rav Kook was respected by most rabbopnim in EY in his time, the yeshiva velt of the '60s and onward totally rejected Rav Kook, probably because brisk and the chazon Ish did not hold of him. so instead of trying to change the mind of the yeshiva velt, Rav hutner tried to avoid showing his connection. Therefore in his NY edition he omitted the haskamah. Rav Hutner always rejected Rav Kook as a manhig, he only respected him as a gaon and tzaddik. However, the ways of hashgachah are interesting. rav Elyashiv never tried to hide his connection, and when asked would clearly speak of Rav Kook's greatness. It was pretty difficult for the Yated ne'eman, since when Rav Shach was the manhig, Rav Kook would never get the title "gaon", but when Rav elyashiv took over the reigns, he clearly respected the person and his greatness.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />................<br />Kovnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-41348180726872648862013-04-23T11:18:31.321-04:002013-04-23T11:18:31.321-04:00Tzig,
