QUESTION:
I want to ask the Rav, why is it that the Gedolei Yisrael are such great people yet they are still approachable, we are able to observe them and they have time of kabalas kehal (meeting with the tzibur), but this is not the case with the Rav. I want to know, is there a reason that the Rav has for this? Is there any way I can have a personal relationship with the Rav so I can get advice and guidance and be able to have more shimush (training) under the Rav?
ANSWER:
I am not at all from the Gedolei HaDor, so I don’t really understand the question.
There are several reasons why [I don’t do what you mentioned]. Here are a few of them. Today, everything has become external/superficial. Everything today has to get recorded or videoed, and that is so different from [the low-key, calmer situation of the] previous generations. This is all one big “noise”, which steals the necessary inner calmness and solitude away from a person, and this is especially detrimental to someone who needs it [the inner calmness and solitude] as part of his cheilek (portion or personal work) on this world. This is besides for the profound level of tumah (devious influences) today, which is causing destructive and fearful to anyone.
You are able to attend shiurim that I give in person, and you can also help with spreading and publishing/printing the divrei Torah.
