Rebbe I already miss you so much! You had a Torahdike warmth like no other. You suffered your whole life. Now you can enjoy what you earned. Thank you for teaching the world that a regular American boy could shteig to become one of the Gedolei Hador! We were truly Gbentched to have you as our Rosh Hayeshiva.
