Description

Rav Chaim Drukman, who just passed away at the age of 90, was one of the leading roshei Yeshiva, educators and rabbis, members of Knesset, and key figures in Religious Zionism in Israel over the last 8 decades. His life of dedication and sacrifice for Am Yisrael is both inspiring and practical, for as Rav Mordechai Eliahu zt"l said, our generation should learn our love for our fellow Jew and for the Jewish nation from Rav Drukman. R. Shlomo Zalman Auerbach even identified him as 1 of the 36 tzadikim. Unfortunately, almost all of the many eulogies and memories have not been in English. Hopefully these short personal memories of my rebbe will bezH help fill that significant void, introducing this historic giant figure to the Anglo audience.
