I noticed that in much coverage, from the yeshivishe side, there has been recognition that he was "an American kid" and look how high he soared.<br /><br />My question is, would this have been what people were saying if this photograph had not been widely distributed?<br /><br />I know that many people have said that R. Nosson Zvi was open about his origins, was mechazek people by referencing it and so forth - still, I can't help but wonder if not for this picture if that would have been part of the story repeated after his petirah. Could the dissemination of this picture have actually influenced the way talmidim have been speaking about a deceased odom godol?S.http://onthemainline.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-85361053487394832452011-11-09T12:29:42.174-05:002011-11-09T12:29:42.174-05:00I put the picture up on RNZF's wikipedia page....I put the picture up on RNZF's wikipedia page.micha bergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11612144735431285113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12600498.post-87867984765137423122011-11-09T09:19:13.820-05:002011-11-09T09:19:13.820-05:00I'm sure he is.
