I wonder why the a Rosh Yeshiva’s original matzeiva was redone and replaced?
I have a fond memory, from the summer of 2000, in my mid-teens attending a summer NCSY sports and learning program housed at Ner Yisroel. The week of the Rosh Yeshiva’s first yahrtzeit, our Rebbi took me and four other boys to the home of Rebbitzen Chana Weinberg z”l for a private audience. What an extraordinary woman. I remember she recounted a few stories of her husband the Rosh Yeshiva, and spoke about Modeh Ani and how grateful we must be for waking up in the morning. I’ll never forget this encounter.
The first photo seems to be erroneously captioned. If this is the same rav, it should not say Weinberger but Weinberg.
