Amshinover Ruled that people can go to Auerbach's Funeral But shouldn't stay for the Eulogies

Amshinover Rebbe






The Amshinover Rebbe Shlitah paskened to those who asked if they could attend R' Auerbach's funeral, that they could go to the funeral of R' Auerbach but that they must  leave before the eulogies.  

Presumably because the attendees shouldn't contaminate their holy ears with blatant lies and exaggerated praise ....of someone he couldn't respect!

The Amshinover and Rav Shmuel were chavrusies many years ago.

The Amshinover apparently is a man who specializes in acceptance and tolerance of people. This is similar to what the now-dead Aurbach's father (HaRav Shlomo Zalman Aurbach of blessed memory) preached and practiced throughout his life. I think that the Amshinover didn't want people who were his followers to listen to the spew that the younger Aurbach reveled in during the last decades of his miserable existence.
