Quoting Rabbi Chaim Aryeh Zev Ginzberg (in Mishpacha):
One day I received a call to drive Rav Yaakov to Brooklyn, where he would deliver a hesped for an elderly gadol who had lived many years earlier in America, but had spent the last decades of his life living in Eretz Yisrael. I was to drive him from Monsey to Brooklyn and then back to Monsey.
…
Years earlier the rav being eulogized had worked for a few years at an institution whose standing was controversial. And so Rav Yaakov stood up and said, “Some people may be asking why this great rav went to a particular institution.
“The answer is: He was an adam gadol, and on an adam gadol we don’t ask any questions!”
With that he sat down.
