clarification posted from user talk izak meshullam gross hi izak thanks for that neat move of nachlas tzvi only two issues one fairly significant if you want to be pedantic he actually went by the english name of herman gross meshulam tzvi was his hebrew name and used in his seforim technically speaking and according to the information availible to me he was not a rabbi apparently or so i've been told he was offered semicha many times and was certainly able but never accepted it therefore i deliberately refrained from placing him in any rabbi category let alone the haredi category off the point since he wasnt a rabbi i object to terming him haredi as the boundaries in his age were fluid and the word wasnt even used indeed by todays standards he may not have been haredi whatever that irksome term means many thanks
