Of course, Rabbi Hartman was a most controversial figure and there are many who would critique us for remembering in this manner. It is interesting to note that it was RIETS who sent out the original notice upon which this post was based. In the end, I believe that there is no doubt that Rabbi Hartman's intent was always l'shem Shomayim and it is in that vein that, even as we may disagree with some of this positions (even finding them outside the pale), it is important that we remember him l'zchut.
