His marriage to Rebbetzin Chana Perl, the daughter of Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, firmly ensconced him in a career as a teacher of Torah. After an initial commencement as a Rebbi in Slutzk, the Soviet takeover and repression forced him to cross the border and reestablish the Yeshiva in Kletzk in 1921.

JHS: The Life of Rav Aharon Kotler: Origins of Greatness - part 1
Though he came from an illustrious rabbinic family, Rav Aharon Kotler (1891-1962) was faced with the challenge of being orphaned from both parents as a child. After a brief stint in Krinik, he arrived in Minsk where he formed a lifelong friendship with Rav Yaakov Kamenetsky and Rav Reuven Grozovsky. With his arrival in Slabodka, he enjoyed a closeness with the Alter of Slabodka, while also attending the shiurim of Rav Baruch Ber Leibowitz in the other Slabodka Yeshiva.

It's a Bizayon for the Rosh Yeshiva ztl that this episode is sponsored by the 20 minute Daf. The Rosh Yeshiva waa the epitome of ameilus and yegiah B'Torah not daf yomi in 20 minutes.
ReplyDeleteA bigger bizayon to quote from the making of a gadol book with the Pushkin reference
ReplyDeleteTo..9:12pm lucky you that this is your biggest problem in life
ReplyDeleteIt's not his biggest problem he is just noticing the irony
DeleteTo 9:12 , 9:15 stop with the Nareshkeit , The Irony Is That if you are so concerned with Yegiah in Torah you would be sitting and learning and not be on the Internet and have time to post such silly comments ..obviously it is just easier to post a "Make me feel good and better"comment than to actually learn
ReplyDeleteR' Moshe Tuvia Leiff heard from R' Shmuel Berenbaum , that if there would have been daf yomi in the days of the Yevanim, they would not have included it in the decree.
ReplyDeleteR' Moshe Tuvia Lieff has THREE daily Daf Yomi shiurim given in his shul.
DeleteI know of at least two Yungeleit in Mir who for years spent their whole second seder learning Daf Yomi in preparation for the Daf Yomi shiurim they were giving to baal habatim . R' Shmuel Berenbaum never gave them a hard time about it.
