I Thought I Knew [The Torchbearer / Special Tribute Edition]

I lived through the era when Reb Aharon, Reb Moshe, and Reb Yaakov were the undisputed gedolei hador, when all yeshivahleit and balabatim hung onto their every word and would listen to their every direction. You did not have to mention their last names; everyone knew to whom you were referring.

I thought that I slightly understood and somewhat knew what it meant to be a manhig Yisrael who sees the world through a pure Torah lens. I have many friends and mechutanim who learned for many years in Lakewood, and I spent a Simchas Torah with Reb Aharon in Lakewood. But then I read last week’s Mishpacha supplement and realized that I didn’t even have a microscopic idea of what kind of a gadol and a manhig Reb Aharon was.

In the 87 pages of Mishpacha’s supplement, you were able to fill in many of the cracks and give us a small insight into Reb Aharon’s life and his myriad Torah accomplishments.

I am writing to express a big thank you to all involved in producing such a masterpiece. I would also like to urge all who have not yet read the supplement to do so.
