Reb Moshe ZT”L was a very special man who was Zoche to Arichas Yomim and Arichas Shonim. His wonderful family of Talmidei Chachomim, Yorei Shomayim, Marbetzai Torah and Askanim are his legacy and will certainly continue in his legendary footsteps.
May Reb Moshe be a Maylitz Yosher for his entire family and may they know no more Tzar.
Anyone know the names of the other 6 Talmidim who went to Baltimore with Rav Ruderman ZaTzal? Thanks and good shabbis.
One of them was Rabbi Eliezer Cohen Z”L
