“It is common knowledge that there is a strong dispute between Rabbi Soloveithchik and many of the Charedi gedolim of the time.”
It is common knowledge that Rav Soloveitchik was very respected by the charedi gedolim, who made him a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah while he was still in his 30s. He was particularly close to R’Hutner who was his classmate at the University of Berlin, to the Lubavicher Rebbe whom he had also met in Berlin, and to R’Kotler who had him speak at the first Chinuch Atzmai fundraising dinner.
(It should be noted that Rav Soloveitchik’s Zionism was very different from that of Rav Kook.)
