I believe RGS z"l was born circa 1910 (he was niftar 5739/1979 at age of 69). R. Shlomo Heiman z"l was niftar in 1944 I believe. So why would RGS take over his shiur at age of 27? I know RSH was ill before he was niftar, but in 1937 ?

Her brother R' Laibel Z"L (father of R' Yitzchok Z"L) was a talmid OF Rav Gedalia ZT"L. (Albeit, several years older.) He would come home for bain hazmanim, and all he could talk about was his Rebbi. She decided that she was going to marry him.<BR/><BR/>When R' Laibel left to go to the Mir, she came to NY to see him off at the boat. That's how they met.<BR/><BR/>So, you see they actually did meet at a boat.Avremelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13878791771751277969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-91178409807194821012008-05-26T08:06:00.000-04:002008-05-26T08:06:00.000-04:00Rav Gedalia Schorr met his wife on a shidduch when...Rav Gedalia Schorr met his wife on a shidduch when he was 27. At the time of this story, he was not merely a maggid shiur, he took over Rav Shlomo Heiman's shiur--the highest shiur in the yeshiva--at the time he was 27. In fact, he is the ONLY contemporary quoted by Rav SHlomo in Rav Shlomo's sefer. The story concerning RGS is a bubbe maasesh and a disgrace. He was the son of a chashuve Sadigurere chossid and there is NO way he would have done such a thing. Bottom line is: he did not meet his wife in this way.

That being said, I would have much less of a problem with some one saying that he is doing a specific act as shlicus for the Rebbe (such as opening a Chabad House in Alaska) as opposed to this case where someone said that the entire family is “in service to the rebbe”.
