That was in his Torah Vodaas days in the little white yeshiva building on Ocean Parkway between Caton and Church aves. Then his thing in Camp Agudah was done in his room in the old 'colonial building'. "Yuddy" then would go out and show the kids how to throw a curveball and be a head counselor. Some role model...

Now I'll answer your question, which is chutzpahdik, because the answer seems so obvious.<BR/><BR/>The Rav joined Yeshiva University at a time when it was considered traif by many other gedolei Torah. He could have gone anywhere, but didn't. He even could have been Chief Rabbi of Israel, but preferred to stay at YU. In doing so, he stayed true to his principles, and built RIETS and YU into the great mosod it is today.<BR/><BR/>The Rav was also the sole dissenter from the proclamation of other gedolei Torah who barred orthodox participation in the Synagogue Council of America. When the SCA crumbled, the Jewish Observer proclaimed victory, but who knows what great things might have been accomplished in certain realms had all orthodox streams participated in the SCA? We'll never know.<BR/><BR/>I included Rav Aharon Kotler because he stayed true to his Torah lishmah principles, and built Lakewood. His Vaad Hatzalah activities, during the Holocaust, have also been long recognized.<BR/><BR/>You should apologize for two things: JB; and the question itself.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21519732.post-1143821056269949922006-03-31T11:04:00.000-05:002006-03-31T11:04:00.000-05:00Never underestimate the power of a moral voice.
