     Umm, can you tell me the name of the sefer of Rav Nachman's where he wrote this, and where I can get it ? And how the quote originally goes in Hebrew or Yiddish or Russian or whatever language he wrote in ?

   • 2006 April 27, [email protected], “Spilling out drops of wine at the Seder”, in soc.culture.jewish.moderated‎ (Usenet):

     and I'm not referring to Rabbi Sally or Rabbi Suzy from the non-O clergy, or for that matter Rabbi Murray or Rabbi Irving from the O clergy, or even from some naarishkeit written from Aish haTorah or Artscroll; but to a recognized Posek who has authored "sefarim"

     Since R' Shlomo Wolbe spent more years speaking Hebrew than did Josh and wrote several sepharim in that language, I take it for granted he didn't make a grevious grammatical error.
