      In this shiur, Rav Rakeffet discusses-

      -The debate about who was more successful in building Torah, Lakewood or YU.

      -How the Rav and Rav Aharon Kotler would view the growth of American Hasidut, and the Rav's view of increasing "obscurantism" amongst frum American Jews in his later decades.

      -The deaths in near proximity of Rav Revel and Rav Moshe Soloveitchik, and the need for successors.
