1. I am blanking out on the name of the present GAVAD Eda Hacharedis. Is it indeed Harav Hagaon vechu’ R’ Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss or is that outdated information?

2. Itzik..

   Yes!
   It IS Rav Weiss Shlitah.

   My son spent alot of time with him in Yerushalayim.
   Except for being a Gaon in Torah, he is also a Gaon in Midos.

3. Yes, it is Rav Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss.

5. in lakewood he also gave a shiur in ohr moshe

6. the shir in yeshivah was attended by 800 talmidim, it was packed!

7. I agree that he is a gaon in midos, a wonderful caring person. Is there a recording of the shiur or can anyone who was there summarize it for us. What language was it in, he speaks a good English, having lived in England for about thirty years.

8. POR
   they sell tapes of the shiur in BMG. He gave the shiur in yiddish.

9. he never lived in England he lived in Antwerp Belgium for 50 years.

10. The GAVAD escaped the Nazis and lived in England for 30 plus years before becoming a Dayan in Antwerpen / Anvers.

11. The GAVAD was a Ram in the Yeshiva in Wilrijk where my father had him in the late 60’s so I don’t think he was in England for 30 years.

12. The GAVAD arrived in England at the end of ’38 – azoi alles shtimt.
