I believe this is the man the historian Rabbi Aaron Rothkoff (Rakeffet) נ”י of YU has mentioned numerous times as being of the European Mirrer Yeshiva talmidim who came to the United States and had a great hashpa’ah on American talmidim after WWII.
Yes, that’s correct.
Rebbetzin Tovah(?) Fishman was my Morah at Beth Jacob Beth Miriam school in The Bronx 1969-1971. Is there any information on her – year she was born, died? She may have remarried sometime after I knew her.
