    4. Rabbi Avroham Kravitz (unconfirmed), I knew Rabbi Kravitz and that’s defiantly not him.

    I enjoyed Rabbi Kagan’s semi annual bechinah. It helped me become an attorney and a cpa.

    I believe that Reb Yehudah shall rise again and resume his rightful place amongst the gedolim of the lower east side.

    Many people believe that Reb Yehuda is the moshiach.
