More than four decades after his passing, talmidim, assistants, and the American hosts of “everyone’s rosh yeshivah” share their personal memories of Rav Shmuel Rozovsky
It was a frigid morning in late January of 1978. A throng of men stood together in the arrivals hall at John F. Kennedy Airport in New York, eyes trained on the door.
