4. Rabbi Avroham Kravitz (unconfirmed), I knew Rabbi Kravitz and that’s defiantly not him.
He was the principal at Salanter before he came to RJJ.
I enjoyed Rabbi Kagan’s semi annual bechinah. It helped me become an attorney and a cpa.
Semi annual tests at rjj and collecting a paycheck to avoid poverty.
Rabbi Kagan’s passing is a profound tragedy.
I believe that Reb Yehudah shall rise again and resume his rightful place amongst the gedolim of the lower east side.
Rabbi Kagan was a king of kings.
Hi Moe,
Do you know what year Rabbi Avrohom Kravitz passed away?
Many people believe that Reb Yehuda is the moshiach.
