Harav Hagaon Rabbi Dovid Sternbuch shlit”a, grandson and right-hand man of Maran, the Gaon, Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch shlit”a, has come to Lakewood on a special mission from his grandfather
Harav Hagaon, Rabbi Dovid Sternbuch shlit”a, grandson and right-hand man of Maran Posek Hador HaGaon, Rabbi Moshe Sternbuch shlit”a, has arrived in Lakewood on a mission from his grandfather for the benefit of the Kollel Mercaz HaTorah Teshuvos Vehanhagos.
Mercaz HaTorah Teshuvos Vehanhagos was established by Rav Sternbuch shlit”a in order to raise rabbonim and morei hora’a and to pass on to them the way of rendering halachic decisions that Maran shlit”a acquired from his teachers, the luminaries of the previous generations.
For a while already, Rav Sternbuch shlit”a has been expressing his pain that there are many talented people whose potential to become morei halacha can be realized, and they are lost to us because they never learned how to study halacha properly; and therefore, at the request of Maran shlit”a, the Mercaz HaTorah Teshuvos Vehanhagos for the study of halacha was established, where the talmidim observe rabbonim as they render halachic decisions and are put in close contact with a great talmid chacham.
In addition, Mercaz HaTorah Teshuvos Vehanhagos is publishing some of Maran shlit”a’s books, besides the weekly newsletters containing Maran shlita’s weekly classes, tens of thousands of copies of which are printed and distributed around the Jewish world – thus making Da’as Torah known – the word of Hashem from Jerusalem.
And now, after the extension of the institution with the opening of a new branch in Modi’in Illit, and with some of Maran shlita’s books about to be published, his grandson and right-hand man, Harav Hagaon Rabbi Dovid Sternbuch shlit”a is going on a quick mission to the U.S., to place Mercaz HaTorah Teshuvos Vehanhagos on a firm basis.
At the same time, the greatest and most important rabbonim shlit”a are making preparations for the success of the trip, with many supporters of Torah promising significant donations.
