Are you implying that the GRA's extensive secular education
"warped" is learning? I hope not.<br><br>
Rav Shimon Schwab never finished the 9th grade, but he had
extensive secular knowledge that he acquired on his own. Are you
implying that Rav Schwab's learning was "warped" because
of his extensive secular knowledge? I hope not.<br><br>
And they there is Rav Y. Soloveichik who had a Ph d in philosophy
which the GRA said was a waste of time to study. Are you
implying that his learning was "warped."<br><br>
I could go on with others. <br><br>
On the contrary, according to the GRA one's learning is deficient
if one does not have secular knowledge.<br>
