Well, actually that's not the entire point of the letter. I have yet to discover the reason for him writing this letter, but it seems that the AJ "accused" RSYW of saying something in an article and in an interview with an AJ correspondent like "the Holocaust being G-d's punishment on the irreligious," that "G-d has no connection to the irreligious and unaffiliated," or something to that effect... It would also seem that the late Gershon Jacobson probably dubbed Rabbi Weinberg a "Misnaged," as they were wont to do. So RSYW, scion of a proud Slonimer Rebbishe family, responded in kind. A very kind and gentle letter, yet one that makes strong points. I have yet to find out whether or not the AJ actually printed this letter. Read for yourselves and see what you can come up with.
We thank the Agudath Israel of America archives for the letter.

1968 Torah UMesorah Dinner
Yes, I too can see that there are 4 degrees of separation between the Rav and Reb Moshe Feinstein, and I'm tickled by the fact that the organizers seated them as such, but still, it's at the same table, בבחינת שלשה שאכלו על שלחן אחד. You would think that the siyum haShas could be the same way, that we can put our differences aside for one night, and for most people it is that way. I just wish it could be that way for All of us.

Rav Ruderman's 25th Yohrtzeit
The (Chabadsker Yingel cum) Slabodker Talmid who founded and became the Rosh Yeshiva of Ner Israel in Baltimore is seen right, with glasses, with Rav Moshe Feinstein left, [Rabbi Zakheim,?] the Kopycniczer Rebbe, Reb Moshe Mordche, holding the becher. Quite "malchus'dig," I might add. RYYR passed away on this day in 5747/1987. The picture is sometime between 1967, when the old Kopycniczer passed away, and 1975, when RMMH passed away בדמי ימיו, in 1975. The Rebbishe benkel has been vacant ever since.
