Description
Daniel Peretz, הי"ד & his family. The Rav & במה מדליקין. R' Dovid Lifshitz & his wife. R' Bezalel Naor & Richard Nyer. R' Kook wearing tefillin all day in Volozhin was not appreciated. Split in Mercaz HaRav over teacher's degree option. Netziv was worldly and appreciated Russian Literature, Zionism, & secular studies, but never inside the yeshiva. He opposed divisions within Jewish community. Learn from חזקיהו המלך & bring everyone into the yeshiva, including phonies. They will be influenced by Torah study. Lakewood now has outreach via Kollelim. Avoid discussion of theological questions. Torah observance first, theological questions will be answered later. Example: Uri Zohar. Arik Einstein and his wife Sima. Alternative view as to only Torah studies in the yeshiva: R' Soloveitchik and R' Aharon Lichtenstein. No ghetto mentality today. Synagogue Council & its closing. Haskalah in E. Europe vs. W. Europe. Why R' Chaim selected city of Volozhin: 1) Sha'agat Aryeh was there. 2) In Vilna he would not be able to be as selective about students. 3) Financial support of students worked better there. R' Dovid Lifshitz' broadness. Refusal to imitate the rabbinic seminaries. R' Salanter.
