POTD - דער אלטער רבי און דער ראש ישיבה ... און זיין אידענע

Rav Hutner's daughter was married in Rabbi Weberman's shul in Far Rockaway. He later moved to Miami where he lives today. Those wedding photos were taken in some room in that shul or perhaps in a rabbinical residence or office area on the premises.

Reb Aron's Chanukah Licht inspiration






















We all need it. Inspiration. For some of us it comes in the form of a sefer. Connection to words. For others it's ראיית פני הצדיק that puts either יר"ש or אהוי"ר in our hearts, depending on what's called for. It seems like Reb Aron likes to have the Rosh Yeshiva's ציור next to him by the חנוכה ליכט. The Shabbosdike ציור - that does it for him.

PsOTD


















(l-r Rabbi Morris Sherer, Rav Yitzchok Hutner, Rav Yaakov Kamienecki, Journalist R' Gershon Ber Jacobson.)  Sruli Besser says: "There are many things about Rabbi YY Jacobson that are special; it's an honour to tell the story of a chassid who's capturing the hearts & minds of all sorts of listeners. The backstory of his father is incredible - this picture, of Reb Gershon Jacobson with Rav Hutner, Rav Yaakov and Rabbi Sherer, is thrilling; it captures the flavor of a different time."

Rabbi Goren was some 12 years younger than Rav Hutner, but they were acquaintances. The latter only leaving the Holy Land in approximately 1930. The former already being a talmid in the Chevroner Yeshiva at that time. And RYH again spending a year or so in the Holy Land some years later. Maybe they attended Rav Kook's shiurim together? The man in the middle is hitherto unknown. At least to me. UPDATE: Friday. Reb YD Miller tells us that this is Rabbi Menachem Tzvi Eichenstein, (1910-1981) Chief Rabbi of St. Louis.
