My Talmid

We have recently been telling stories about Rav Avraham Genechovski. We continue...

He NEVER called someone "my talmid". [Probably because he felt it arrogant to say that HE is the Rebbi and this is my Talmid who learns from me].

This was also the practice of Rebbi Akiva Eiger as he writes in the preface to his Tshuva sefer.
