Torah Sages Who Support The Book
Rabbi Kamenetsky reports that both Rabbi Zelik Epstein, who was a senior Rosh Yeshiva in America, and Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch, a prominent Halachic authority in Israel, read Making of a Godol and fully approved of it. He quoted Rabbi Epstein as stating in a letter to Rabbi Eliashiv that "in my opinion there is no justification whatsoever to ban the aforementioned book." Rabbi Kamenetsky stated that Rabbi Sternbuch rules for anyone who asks him that the book is "Kosher." He quoted Rabbi Sternbuch as exclaiming within earshot of at least 50 people one Shabbos morning after services: "Reb Noson, you keep writing - no one can do as good a job as you!"
