He was a successful businessman who received smicha and was a close talmid of HaRav Pinchas Hirschprung ZT''L. He combined a life of Torah, integrity and responsibility while building his family, community and Klal Yisroel. The yeshiva aims to instill these ideals into the talmidim, enabling them to become future leaders in Am Yisroel.
