On Sunday, October 17, Yeshivas Beis Hillel of Passaic unfurled the white banner hanging above the front of the building to reveal the dedication of the state-of-the-art campus as the “Shirley E. and Avrom R. Vann Campus.” To the delight of all assembled, including the children, grandchildren and young great-grandchildren of the Vanns, the newly revealed letters reflect the long and focused journey of the Vanns in their philanthropic pursuits. ....
Introduction: An Indispensable Sefer One of the most intriguing contemporary halachic discussions is the many and varied ramifications of the International Dateline (IDL). Many sefarim and articles have been written on this beautiful topic. Therefore, I was hardly surprised when TABC talmid Aidan Samet told me that his uncle, who serves as a rav in Yerushalayim, recently released a sefer on this topic. However, when leafing through the set that Aidan and his parents gifted me of Rav Mordechai Kuber’s three-volume collection titled “Crossing the Dateline,” I very quickly realized that this is not just a sefer on the IDL.

The American Rabbi’s Rabbi By Rabbi Haim Jachter | December 16, 2020 If I were to ask our readers if they heard of Rav Hershel Schachter and Rav Mordechai Willig, their answers most likely would be “of course.” However, if we asked if they are familiar with Rav Gedalia Dov Schwartz, zt”l, who passed away last week at the age of 95, the answer would likely be no. Although Rav Schwartz was of the same stature and caliber (and hashkafic orientation) as Rav Schachter and Rav Willig, he forged a different rabbinic path. Rav Schachter and Rav Willig are quintessential Yeshiva University roshei yeshiva and roshei kollel. Rav Gedalia Dov Schwartz was more focused on the rabbinate and beit din world. For the last 30 years, Rav Schwartz had the final word regarding all highly sensitive matters of personal status questions within the Modern Orthodox community. Hundreds of rabbis addressed their most challenging problems to Rav Schwartz ....
