TLIK: Where did you divine this “contrast” that he was a baal ruach hakodesh whereas such ruach hakodesh was suddenly lost sometime thereafter? Did you decide at what point in time exactly this “loss” of ruach hakodesh, that you acknowledge still existed a mere 350 years ago, suddenly vanished? Or does such irrelevancies not further your boich svara so it therefore can be easily ignored.
Many Gedolim today have and continue to identify specific contemporary faults that triggered specific tragedies. As you are surely aware, even more postwar Gedolim told us why the holocaust occured. Though you add a disclaimer about not minimizing the gedolim of today, your very comments does so. And Rav Elyashev never in his life said that any of his contemporary gedolim were anything other than correct in their identifying whichever fault to whichever calamity.
