[Avodah] Ksav Sofer's First Meeting with RSRH

[Prof. Levine]

The following is from Rav Yaakov Perlow's essay RSRH - The Gaon in 
Talmud and Mikra.

The Ksav Sofer met Rav Hirsch for the first time in 1848 and he later wrote,

"We talked in learning with the new Chief Rabbi [of Nikolsburg -RSRH].
He is boki in all of shas and poskim. We are lucky that he thinks of 
us (presumably
the Hungarian Rabbonim), as greater lamdonim than he. Would he
only know his own greatness he would give us no rest."

I have posted the first part of Rav Perlow's essay at 
http://www.stevens.edu/golem/llevine/rsrh/rsrh_gaon.pdf  and this is 
from page 78. YL
