Jossef Bear Soloveitchik (JBS) was the son of R’ Moshe Soloveicthik who was the son of the Great R’ Chaim Brisker.
Moshe Soloveitchik’s wife introduced great amounts of secular literature into the domestic nest, poisoning the family atmosphere.
The Great Reb Chaim is quoted as saying that his foresight made only two mistakes in life. World War 1 and Moshe Soloveichek's Shiduch.
JBS went to Berlin University and studied Apikorsus (the philosophy of Hermann Kohen from the Mendelson school of thought.
If one intentionally inserts himself into an atmosphere of Epikorsus, like a university, it is permitted to speak freely Lashon Harah about that person -(Kitzur HilChos Lashon Harah, Haim Frieman Bnei Brak 1983, pg 34.)
JBS’s thesis seems to be nowhere to be found! We demand that his family and YU make it available for public scrutiny!
While in Berlin he discovered his love for TL.
What does “discovering his love” mean, studying Kant together at the University library? Come on Mrs. Meiselmann, talk English!
We demand that the Soloveichick family describe in all it's ugly detail what exactly was the nature of their pre-marital relationship!
JBS’ father attempted to get JBS a job teaching at the Schechter Theological Seminary. (I lost my reference on this but you YU historians must have on hand somewhere). That means he attempted to work for a Conservative Seminary.
JBS headed YU for many years. YU promotes non-authentic Jewish ideology. Every Authentic Gadol beTorah held to this opinion.
Yes, it is true that almost every Gadol beTorah in America showed no public animosity towards JBS. Some also showed friendship, publicly, towards him.
This was a tactical behavioral decision on their part. They were simply afraid that if they would distance him further from Authentic Judaism, more than he had already distanced himself, this could cause a domino effect and many simpleminded Jews who were followers of JBS could go lost.
This is, for obvious reasons, not applicable today. Today “JBsism” is nothing less than a cult that has to be done away with.
In private forums JBS was clearly classified and abhorred by Authentic Gedolim for the impostor he really was.
Rabbi Aharon Kotler called JBS "Acher" and said that all the Tumah of America rest upon his shoulders.
During his lifetime JBS undermined Authentic Jewish morals. The most famous one was his cowardly refusal to support the ban on girls being drafted into the Zionist army. Rabbi Kotler and Rabbi Mendel Zaks, the son in law of the Chofetz Chaim wanted his cooperation and were unsuccessful getting it.
There were other areas where he undermined Authentic Jewish Halacha (See letters of R' Eliezer Shach vol 4, 36)
His institution today enrolls openly declared homosexuals. How is this possible? Do the math.
JBS's Divrei Torah are a Chulant of Breslov hallucinations, Kantian Philosophy, and Brisker Chilukim . We can accuratly say that they are insignificant garbage and not worth the paper they are printed on.
Many members of JB's family have returned to Authentic Judaism, like the Meiselman family as well as others.
