Respect For The Titans

I was listening to a shiur by a well known Rabbi on a well known website. His point - everybody who doesn't think like him is a complete ignoramous. He didn't mention names but his list includes the Chazon Ish, Rav Moshe Feinstein, Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach, Rav Ovadiah Yosef and Rav Eliyashiv [amongst others].

I would therefore like to register a protest for Kavod Hatorah and ask that before one takes issue with people much greater, one must first reach their level of scholarship and kedusha. Then, with great humilty he may express an alternative opinion.

Protest registered!
