[Avodah] R?YBS-Feminist/Talit Story

[Joseph Kaplan]

I simply note that (a) all the stories were published after the Rav died and (b) all appear to be least first degree if not more hearsay. (It’s unclear how R. Mandel knows the story. His article doesn’t say if he saw it, heard it from the Rav, or heard it from someone else.) But the difference between the two ways the story is told is striking and, I believe, calls it into question. But I guess we’ll never know.
