The Chochom Tzvi Ends His Machlokes

It is told in the sefer Chut HaMeshulosh that Rav Avrohom Broda and the Chochom Tzvi had an ongoing dispute between them. As the argument escalated and the machlokes (dispute) grew, the Chochom Tzvi met the mechaber of Me'il Tzedoka and engaged Rav Yona Landsofer in a Torah conversation.

When the Chochom Tzvi realized the extent of his mastery of Torah, he immediately concluded, “It is forbidden to continue in a machlokes with a person such as Rav Broda, who has such a great talmid such as Rav Yona.” From then on, the Chochom Tzvi esteemed Rav Broda greatly.
