Jews who believe that Reward and Punishment are only based on Torah Study

edu:
A member of my family, brought to my attention that Rabbi Filber {in Hebrew פילבר} wrote about the story I cited at the beginning of this thread.
He claimed that also Rabbi Kook took his approach.
Rabbi Filber claims that one's involvement in Torah can be broken down into 2 periods. In the first period one fills himself with knowledge in all the different branches of Torah and in the later period he teaches and spreads his knowledge to others. To sum up a whole chapter in a few words, he contends that it was not apparent from the outside that this "Rabbi" suffered from a serious failure from his outlook on Torah. So to prevent him from improper influence on future generations, who are honestly looking for the word of G-d, this "Rabbi" who took unjustified lenient approach to the laws of Nida was taken away in half of his years. Half representing the period in which one fills himself with Torah knowledge before spreading it to the generation.
It's true there are some heretical rabbis that teach things that overtly against Judaism, but Rabbi Filber contends those type of people, one is more capable of being able to avoid their damage from their influence. The true threat is the "Rabbis" who are not ideologically or morally fitting, but appear to be, to the masses.
