I can’t say right or wrong, but I have to say that the first time, long ago, that I heard a hospital was called Maimonides, I didn’t like it a bit. It made me cringe until after a while as with so many things, I stopped noticing and no longer connect the name of the hospital to anyone. And yes I got the Rashi connection to wine but it took me a long time to get used to that too. Don’t laugh- I didn’t like having a pizza shop named after the holiest city in the world either.
There’s definitely a certain chutzpah in our generation that’s so pervasive we don’t even notice it any more.
Pnei hador k’pnei ha’kelev, anyone?
*** And can we please, please, stop using names of real Gedolim and Talmidei Chachamim in this thread? If I was a Mod, there are a few posts above that I’d send straight to the trash bin…
