I was in JSS when Rav Besdin was the dean. He was a great, old-style teacher, and a real “mensch”.
He was the Rov of Beth Hamidrash Hagodol in Washington Heights. I recently went to the shul and got part of the history from the gabbai there.
I was R’ Besdin’s student 60 years ago.
He put me on the path to real Torah learning.
We learned “it” , not “about it”
What a wonderful teacher ! !
I was Rabbi Besdin’s student in his last year. He was the most important teacher I ever had, and I’ve had the good fortune to have many amazing teachers. As Yosef Zettir said above, he taught us “it” not “about it.” If you want to learn Torah, read the text. Chumash with Rashi. This approach had served me well in do many contexts.
He taught me more about yidshkeit than anyone else, mostly by embodying it. He embodied love, compassion and was just a walking mitzvah. His memory is a blessing.
