Life was different before the internet brought all news, however minor or far away, into our lives.<br />But Gedolim were different back then. Rav Moshe, zt"l, didn't see his job as micromanaging our lives and he didn't have a political side to him. He was asked questions which he answered and he offered his thoughts on sugyos in Chumash and Shas. That's pretty much what he saw his job as. As a result, MO's could relate to him. He was a big Rav, not a political leader of a hostile group.Mighty Garnel Ironhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09571194550300367249noreply@blogger.com
