Original R' Schwab thought it was lechat-chilah. Then he asked R' Barukh
Ber if he should learn full time, or follow mussar avikha and TIDE. RBBL
was the one who convinced him that TIDE was a hora'as sha'ah. (RBBL's
argument is found in Birkas Shemu'el.)

Clearly RBBL didn't know German, and little of RSRH's writings were
available in Hebrew.

Tir'u baTov!
