Influence from Rabbi Gedaliah Nadel
Question
Hello Rabbi — in a conversation with a few friends about the Rabbi and his approach [which one of the friends came to know through the site], I was asked whether the Rabbi is a student of Rabbi Gedaliah Nadel of blessed memory and was influenced by his approach [after all, the Rabbi studied in the Chazon Ish kollel, headed by Rabbi Gedaliah, and some of the Rabbi’s ideas and line of thought seem similar to Rabbi Gedaliah’s unique approach on several matters].
Indeed?
Answer
He had a small influence on me. I heard him a few times on Talmud, but we didn’t have a close relationship. There is indeed some similarity on a few points; it doesn’t always come from him. Sometimes it’s similar because of great minds… 🙂
