Concerning Devash’s post about the Chaftez Chaim, I should also “sit up and take notice” because prior to the end of 5770 this teaching was on my mind but I was far too busy to learn it and forgot about it. I have never know the source of this Chaftez Chaim. Do you?

I've mentioned R' Elchonon Wasserman's quote before, though (about it being 70 years after WWII). He was a Talmid of the ח"ח.

From another perspective, there are those rabbanim who are otherwise very faithful to the Chaftez Chaim, yet they vigorously urge aliyah.
