Rav Epstein keeps a low profile, but he is literally one of the Gedolei Hador, and among the last of his generation. I learned in Shaar HaTorah for two years in the late 1980’s, and it was well-known that when Rav Shach, ZT”L, needed an Eitzah, he would often call Rav Epstein. May the Ribono Shel Olam give him a Refuah Sheleima, BSC”Y.
i iknow the yeshiva sharr hatorah from its inception in kew gardens queens . besides the goan that the rosh hashevia is he spent countless days and nights to reach out to the queens community and conduct regular sidorim with them. normally a mesechta and frequent schmusim.in the beginninng , he would learn 2 to 3 times a week. as he aged the shuir became a weekly sunday shuir which had a times over thirty talmidim from queens, manhattan and the five town area.when he got a weeker he would give mmussar schmusimone of the beautiful things to experience was that the time he said the shuir he was like a ‘bren’, young and vigirous.lets hope he has a refuha shlema bsoch shar cholei yisroel.
