" in today's generation, the Minhag is not
to interrupt the Rov during the Shabbos Hagadol/Teshuva
Drasha.
Only in the olden days, when
the Torah was beloved and children were raised to learn
Torah,did they practice this Minhag, for Kavod
Hatorah,to excite the hearts of the young Bachurim so they
too will also send their children to learn Torah.
In our generation, Kavod
Hatorah has been diminished.
We are concerned that someone
will interrupt and ask questions just to antagonize
the Rov. For this reason they abolished the Minhag of
asking questions during the Drasha.
The Shu't Mishna Sochir
(Y.D.166) says not to interrupt because the Rov might not
have an answer and will be embarrassed.
The Vayaged Yakov (Pappa)
once gave a Drasha in Budapest.
Someone interrupted and asked
him a question. He had no answer and walked away.
He said he can't continue because the questioner is correct in
his argument. Therefore his whole Pilpul is wrong, and there is
no point to continue.
A similar story is said to
have happened to Rav Shach zt"l.
He walked away in middle of a
Shiur.
