[Avodah] gedolim stories

[Eli Turkel]

This weekends Hamodia (English) had an article on emunas chacjamim by Rabbi
Dovid
Hofstedter nasi of Dirshu
partial quotes

While every individual has bechirah Hashem sends certain very special people
into
this world who are endowed with lofty neshamod FROM BIRTH. They are on a
plane
far above and beyond the level of their peers and with sustained avodah they
can
reach truly elevated levels of spirtuality
...
Nevertheless, Hashem sends exalted neshamos to every generation - those of
tzaddikim and gedolim.
On a superficial level we may think that we understand their intentions and
the
reasons they conduct themselves as they do. The truth however is that with
our limited understanding
we cannot truly comprehend the reasons and the intentions behind so many of
the actions of
our gedolim so we dare not presume to question them

(of course he doesnt discuss how we know who is the gadol)
