I was zoche to meet R’ Scheiner ZT”L once with some friends. He gave us a short shiur and talked about his life growing up in the USA and getting sent to Europe to learn Torah. As American bochurim, it somehow felt more real and personal to have a great Rosh Yeshiva who spoke perfect English with a heavy Pennsylvanian accent.
He caught COVID after getting vaccinated. Unfortunately he was very old, so even with the vaccine the virus was too strong.
