This man was a Tzadik Nistar. He was my Menahel in high school. And like any teenager, I didn’t appreciate who he was and what I had until I was well out of high school.
If I had an ounce of brains back then, I would have thanked HaShem for the gift he gave me to be my Menahel.
May his memory be a Bracha for all. And may he be Mochel me for the times I misbehaved and for the things I said against/about him. I am sorry Rebbe.
I too didn’t appreciate him until later in life. He gave me a chance and accepted me into Mir. I wasn’t scholastically on par with my classmates, but he kept me.
Thank you Reb Klein❤️
I loved his parents and davened with them at Rav Nissen Telushkin’s Georgia Ave shul.His brother was a judaica salesman.Rabbi Klein picked me up when I fell on the ice at Yeshiva Toras Chaim in the early ’60s.He was my Principal at Mir from 1966-1968 when I left.He ruined the High school lives of many of my fellow talmidim including one who married my cousin and made his in-laws home treif after they were niftar.
good evening ….good morning …..GUTEN Moed…..guten Yom Tov…
not sure if you were interested in MY special experiences with the RY ZTL,,
do let me know….and DO watch the keys…
He was a huge Rasha. he regularly embarrassed and beat kids publicly – and hundreds if not thousands of boys went off the derech because of him.
May his neshama burn in hell forever, and may his neshama know no peace.
