B"H
Two controversial rabbis who knew and respected each other. This week many Jews celebrate the Yahrzeit of Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach (today) and Rabbi Meir Kahane (this coming Tuesday).
I do not belong to the followers of any of these rabbis. Reb Shlomo is too hippie and freaky although I do like some of his songs. However, as soon as I meet the real "Carlebachers", I get the feeling that I just cannot stand their "freaky hippie waving around". It is simply too much for me.
The same with Rabbi Kahane. For me, he was a little too radical but, nevertheless, he was a rabbi with many great Torah teachings. Unfortunately, too many people only concentrate on his political views but forget about his Torah shiurim.
