<DIV>Rav Ahron Soloveichik zt'l also said this,specifically in connection with
R.Meir Kahane,Hy'd.Rav Y.B.Soloveitchik also said this,as related by Rabbi
Rothkoff in his article in Gesher,5785 ( in a footnote IIRC) Rabbi Rothkoff
asked the Rov about it after a shiur he attended in the early 1980s. I was at
that shiur,and heard their conversation. I don't recall if either Rav Ahron or
the Rov gave a source.</DIV></FONT><BR><BR><BR><DIV CLASS="aol_ad_footer" ID="a85dff745e2553e136d843541bfd8d0"><FONT style="color: black; font: normal 10pt ARIAL, SAN-SERIF;"><HR style="MARGIN-TOP: 10px">Make your life easier with all your friends, email, and favorite sites in one place. <a href="http://www.aol.com/?optin=new-dp&icid=aolcom40vanity&ncid=emlcntaolcom00000010">Try it now</a>.</FONT></DIV></BODY></HTML>
