Rabbi Aaron Rakeffet-Rothkoff says: “Having spent a lot of time around Gedolei Yisrael (great rabbis), the more intelligence you have, the more critical you are. You have to learn a lot of mussar to remove that negative outlook to be able to give everyone credit and to be encouraging and to be positive.”
“Being half a hasid is like being half pregnant. Either you’re a hasid of the rebbe or not. A leader can ask anything of someone who’s devoted.”
