Reply To: Question of an ignorant, closed-minded Lubavitcher

Avira,

>>>Chabad .org calls nota notkin a leader of misnagdim….he wasn’t a rov according to articles online about him

Chabad.org is translating from the letter of the Rebbe Rayatz:
??? ???? ??????? ??? ???????? ?’ ??? ??????

I assume this means simply “head of the opposition”. ??? doesn’t necessarily have to mean a gadol or rov.
And, as mentioned before (also by Avram in MD) he had many government connections, so he seems like more of an askan or rosh hakahal.
