How can we recognize if a man is a gadol hador, one of the great Torah leaders, who we must follow?
ANSWER:
The answer is, how can you know who is a good doctor? Do you ask the ladies on the block? No! You ask your local doctor. The local physician will tell you, go to this man, you have nobody else to rely on. Whether he knows or not, you have to obey him, so you ask physicians and they tell you.
If you want to know who is a gadol batorah, you have to ask people who are proficient in the Torah. And who are proficient in the Torah in America? The same as all over the world, the roshei hayeshivos are the most proficient.
