Rabbi Moshe Rockove

As I was standing at a family vort the other week, the brother of the kallah, a young six-footer, came by to say hello. “You look familiar,” he said, with a very friendly demeanor. The problem was that he didn’t look familiar to me.

Thirty Years Since His Passing Thirty years have passed since that Thursday afternoon when the news hit Lakewood and theOlam HaTorah that the Lakewood rosh yeshiva, Rav Shneur Kotler zt”l, was niftar. The rosh yeshiva had been unwell for a few months, but it was hard to believe that this person who was in the prime of his years in running his yeshiva and working for Klal Yisroel was gone.
