Moderator: There is a commenter here writing “afra lepumei” (“may his mouth [be filled with] dust”) — a severe Talmudic curse — in reference to Rav Kook zt”l as well as attributing an unsubstantiated opprobrium to the Chafetz Chaim zt”l. The person who wrote this puts the word Rav in quotes when referring to Rav Kook. In addition to possessing very bad middot, this commenter is also an ignoramus, unaware that when Rebbe Alter of Ger zt”l visited Palestine in 1924, the first person he went to visit was Rav Kook. Whatever philosophical differences may separate us from other Jews, these great men were veritable angels who deserve our respect, reverence, and our honesty.
