Reply To: Kohen Katan vs. Yisroel Gadol on Simchas Torah

If a kohen halachically deserves it then it is wrong to deprive him of it.

The kohen was being polite, actually. I was a bit more dismissive of it than I should have been, especially with his son listening. I called up and apologized before sharing the sugya with him. He’s a lamdan and has a tshukah for halacha, so he was appreciative.
