Yes, such was his spirituality, when he spoke his words cut to the marrow.
Who could forget what he said when Pope John Paul 11 soon after becoming pope visited Aushwitz conducting a Mass for the dead asking why he didn’t invite a Rabbi and nine Jews to have a minion to recite the Kaddish for the Jews without a grave?
Or more recently, the recollection of Rabbi Yehiel Poupko when he was inviited to speak before priests and religious and following his presentation, when a nun raised her hand and asked; ” How long will you continue to burden us with the Holocaust?
His inspired reply was, “you want us to stop talking about the Holocaust?
You want us to forget the six million Jews murdered just a few years ago?
And yet, you won’t let us forget the death of one man, a Jew who died two thousand years ago.”
Resting In Peace.
