DHM: As others will point out (so I will spare them), Rav Yoshe Ber was not someone whom the Gedolim distanced themselves from.
(The examples have been brought in other threads).
E”Y does seem to have this strong separation between Charaedi & not, vs. Chutz (specificly America) we are more concerned with being a Torah Yid, and being more inclusive in that (even from places like Lakewood).
That is part of what I refer to as “Eretz Yisroel Hashkafa”.
