And, interestingly, I received the following story in my inbox today (from
Yeshivat Ateret Yerushalayim): Even though the Satmar Rebbe had a completely
different outlook than our Rabbi (R' Tzvi Yehuda Kook - MYG), he never
scorned or denigrated him. Once Ha-Gaon Rav Moshe Feinstein ztz"l issued a
ruling regarding the height of a mechitzah between men and women in a shul,
that in pressing situations it is permissible to be lenient in a particular
issue. The Satmar Rebbe came out against him. Our Rabbi said: "It is known
that our paths are separate and different, but in this issue he is correct."
Even though they were polar opposites regarding the Redemption of Israel and
Klal Yisrael (the entirety of Israel), our Rabbi never said one negative
word about him.

MYG
