Does anyone know of an extreme right wing Rav named Rabbi Feivelson? What’s his first name? TIA
Joseph (j/k)
an extreme right wing Rav named Rabbi Feivelson
Methinks that answering a question posed like that may very well constitute loshon hara, or at least avak loshon hara.
mw13, you may have a good point, but on the other hand,maybe it’s a maaleh to be extreme right wing. When I read the op, I actually assumed that she considered it a maaleh which is why she is looking for him.
Letakein girl – if you google Rabbi Feivelson, the first two entries refer to the same person. It looks like it may be the Rav you are referring to.
He sounds like someone very chashuve, talmid of Rav Aharon Kotler, zatsal, born in Radin and had some kind of connection to the Chofetz Chaim, zatsal, learned in Kollel Chazon Ish for many years, I think he might be a Rosh Yeshiva in Tzfast now.
Does that sound like the Rav you are looking for?
LU, LOL
Can’t keep up with you LU.
LOL was to your 1st.
“Can’t keep up with you LU.
LOL was to your 1st.”
was wondering, but kind of figured that’s what you meant.
Joseph, I didn’t meant that in a bad way at all. I hope you weren’t offended. Until I saw mw13’s post, it hadn’t occurred to me that the op could be taken negatively.
I’m always happy to be mistaken for a talmid of Rav Aharon.
He was a talmid of the Chazon Ish too. If that’s what being extreme right wing means, there are no LH issues here. His name is Rav Shmuel Avigdor Feivelson, Shlita. Is that who you were referring to?
LU. I just want to clear up that there are (at least) two R’ Shmuel Avigdor Feivelsons. One is a rosh yeshiva in Monsey and a talmud of R’ Aharon and one is a Rav in Tzfas. I believe they are related but two different people. The first google result I get is the Rav from Tzfas and the second from Matzav.com is the R”Y in Monsey.
Juststoppingin – thanks for the clarification. I was confused about that – I was trying to figure out how someone could be have started a Kollel in Tzfas and be a Rav in Monsey. Since they both had the same first, middle AND last name, it didn’t occur to me that they could be different people, so I figured it had to be the same person, and since he’s over 80, he has had time to do a lot of things in his life!
I didn’t think of the fact that cousins can have identical names. That makes much more sense. Thanks for stopping in to clarify!
LU, happy to help out. I was a talmid of Rabbi Feivelson from Monsey and I remember his cousin coming to visit so I knew that they were two different people.
Oh, I thought you figured it out from the fact that it’s unlikely that the same person is a Rosh Yeshiva in both Tzfas and Monsey and was a talmid of both the Chazon Ish, zatsal and Rav Aharon Kotler, zatsal.
Thanks for your honesty. I was feeling a bit dumb for not having figured that out – although it is pretty unusual for there to be two people who have the same 3 names and to both be chashuve Roshei Yeshivas.
Letakein Girl – so which Rav Feivelson were you talking about?
The one with the big beard.
The one she met on the plane on the way to E”Y.
Is that you, Joseph?
“extreme right wing rabbi” why does everything have to be extreme? just because hes very frum doesnt have to mean hes extreme.
“just because hes very frum doesnt have to mean hes extreme.”
But maybe he is extreme.
Extreme doesn’t have to be negative. If you say extreme by itself, it sounds negative, but when it’s attached to another word, it’s not necessarily meant that way. It might just mean “extremely right wing”.
