Who Are The Rav’s Rebbeim (Teachers)? [#2765]

May 9, 2019

Question:

Shalom to the Rav, shlit”a !
I would be very happy to know who are the Rebbeim (Torah teachers) of the Rav, and from whom the Rav received his path from.

Answer:

A way of thinking first became opened to me when I learned in the Beis Midrash of Yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok [under the tutelage of Rav Yonasan David, Shlit”a.]. Afterwards, [I learned] from R’ Gershon Edelstein, the Rosh Yeshiva of Ponovezh. After that, [I learned] from wise sages of Yerushalayim [of old], who are humble and modest.

Chochmah (wisdom) is whatever a person receives from his teachers. Binah (understanding) is when a person deduces one thing from another; each person [can do so] according to the root of his personal soul (shoresh haneshamah).
