This is a short op-ed written by Rabbi David Wolpe which attests to a virtuous characteristic of Solomon Schechter (the man.)
There were few scholars in the world in Schechter’s time that came close to his broad range of knowledge and even fewer that had his fluent pen. That he drained his writings of bitterness before printing them is a wonderful lesson. Sometimes, even in scholarship, it is better to be measured and careful than cleverly cruel.
