It Only Took 40 Years For Me To Find...

Finally a source for what i've been feeling for so long!

It's been so long since i've made any entries here. I've been giving most of my energies towards wikisource. Uploading seforim, etc..

Anyway, came across a sefer called קול התור by R' Hillel of Shklov. In the second section of Perek 5 he talks about the Vilna Gaon's lamenting the lack of worldly knowledge in the torah community and it's great importance, both for understanding the Torah itself and towards showing it's supremacy to the other fields of wisdom of the nations of the world.

I warmly refer anyone to read further there in depth.
