Rabbi Steinsaltz on the tears of Chanah

DELETED

Certainly Gandalin is right: It was the Kohen Godol Eli, seated on his cathedra by one of the pylons of the mishkan in Shiloh, who observed Chanah's impassioned prayer?

I have deleted the post as its veracity is now in question (although I am certain about Rabbi Steinsaltz's message) my ignorance is glaring. I can't even blame it on Simchas Torah, alas I don't drink.
