YAHRZEIT OF SCHWAB

This coming Purim will mark the 26*'' Yahrzeit of our late, revered Rav, Rav Shimon Schwab, V'JtT, who was niftar on 14 Adar I, Purim Koton 5756.

Raised in Frankfurt am Main and a Talmid of the Hirsch Realschule and Frankfurt , Rav Schwab was steeped in the philosophy of Rav . When Rav Schwab then also became a Talmid of the Eastern European Yeshivos (in Telshe and Mir), Rav Schwab had the great Zechus to come into close contact with many of the Gedolim of pre-war Europe, including such luminaries as the Chofetz Chaim, Rav Chaim Ozer Grodzensky, Rav Joseph Leib Bloch, Rav Yeruchom Levovitz, and Rav . Rav Schwab mentions some of these encounters in his Sefer on the Parashiyos HaShovu'o, Maayan Beis HaSho'eivo.

The popularity of this Sefer, as well as those published by his children based on Rav Schwab's shiurim on ,Tefilo, lyov, Yeshayo, Ezra-Nechemia, and the Hagada shel Pesach, is testament to Rav Schwab's influence still being strongly felt, both in our community and throughout the Jewish world.

RAV YOSEF GELDZAHLER

On Motzoei Shabbos of the Sedro in which we read fjOV nn""!, talmidim of Yosef Geldzahler '?"ST, were saddened to learn of the petiro of a beloved Rebbi. Besides for his shiurim on Gemara, Shulchon Oruch, and Chumash, the demeanor and nna of this unassuming DIK were in themselves powerful lessons, not only to his talmidim, but to all who came in contact with him, of how a Ben should conduct himself and interact with others.

Rav Geldzahler gave over the Hadrocho and style he had learned from his illustrious Rebj^eim, including Reb , Rav Reuven Grozovsky, Rav and Rav , as well as his late brother's father-in-law, Rav Eliyohu Dessler Rav Geldzahler joined the Kehilla's Rabbonim in farhering talmidim for Semicha, and is a signatory on the Semicha together with our Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshiva.

A few years later, he joined Rav Friedier as a Rebbi in the post-high-school Beis Medrash. With the departure of Rav Yaakov Lipschutz to Kashruth work, Rav Geldzahler assumed the responsibility of giving the Semicha . Rav Geldzahler retired in 1995, having for decades taught and guided Talmidim, and serving as an exemplar of Gadlus BaTorah.

RABBI CHAIM TZVi HOLLANDER

The Kehilla and Yeshiva were very saddened by the petiro on X"D, January 4, of Rabbi Chaim Tzvi Hollander, Vr. Rabbi Hollander, who served as the seventh grade Rebbi in YRSRH, was KAJ's youth director during the years 1960-1963, and ran the KAJ summer camp,"Bais Kayitz," during those years, as well. Rabbi Hollander's tenure in the Heights saw the introduction of programs to foster additional Limud HaTorah for boys outside of regular Yeshiva times. A son-in-law of Phillipp Feldheim V'T, and a Talmid of Telz Yeshiva, Rabbi Hollander was deeply involved in Harbotzas HaTorah wherever he went. Rabbi Hollander was involved in Chinuch in Seattle prior to coming to Washington Heights, and, thereafter, was active in Cleveland, Detroit, St. Louis and Chicago until he retired to where he continued to be involved in Bais Yisroel.

The family of Rabbi Hollander is compiling a book of memories and tributes and is reaching out to all people whom he impacted over the course of his life, to submit any written memories and tributes to [email protected].

MR.THEODORE LOMNITZ^"T

Contributed by the Gabboim ofthe Fort Tryon Nursing Home Minyan

On the fourth day of Chanuka, the Washington Heights community suffered a huge loss with the petiro of Mr. Teddy Lomnltz, '7"T pns"' p p 'n. Mr. Lomnltz was a long-time member of KAJ. He was also a member of the Fort Tryon Nursing Home Minyan.

Our sages tell us Me'at VaAsel Harbeh - Say little and do a lot. This pisgam personified Mr. Lomnltz. In his quiet way he showed those around him In the Fort Tryon Nursing Home minyan what It means to be an Eved Hashem. For years he was the first one at the weekday Shacharls Minyonlm. He set up the chairs, similar to what Chazal tell us Yehushua, the future leader of Klal Ylsroel, did In the Bels Medrash of Moshe Rabbeinu. Mr. Lomnltz sat In his Mokom Kovua on the left side of the Shul and davened quietly, never talking during davenlng.

During the last two years of his attendance at the minyan he showed everyone how Important It is to push oneself In the service of the All-Mlghty: Mr. Lomnltz had trouble walking, yet despite that, he came on an almost dally basis.

There were countless times over the past ten years where we would not have had minyan had Mr. Lomnltz not come. His attendance was so much more Important because he helped make minyan for patients of the Nursing Home who literally had no other minyan option.

We must also mention the extraordinary efforts of his wife, Mrs. Eleanor Lomnltz who on many occasions brought her husband to the minyan. Mrs. Lomnltz was the quiet enabling force behind Mr. Lomnltz' attendance.

Mr. Lomnltz leaves behind a strong legacy. His two sons, YItzchok and Dovld, have been Involved In Klal work since they were teenagers and continually make a strong Impact on their respective communities.

We hope that Mr. Lomnltz will be a Mellltz Yosher for his family, the Washington Heights community, and Klal Ylsroel.

SHINING SPOTLIGHTS

By Airs. Judy Fulda

Spotlight On: Dovid Herbsman—What is it like to... teach in your own alma mater?

KA]N: Hi, Dovid. Thanks for agreeing to be interviewed. Where you are currently employed? Vol. 51, No. 5 KAJ NEWSLETTER

DH: I am currently employed at YRSRH as the 8th-grade boy's history/ social studies teacher. I also work as a dorm counselor at Yeshiva Ohavei Torah of Riverdale.[Dowd—or Mr. Herbsman, as he is known to his eighth graders-is also pursuing a degree at Touro College, and is an expert KAJ Baal Keriah.]

KAJN: What is that like for you? What do you teach? DH: It is a bit of a challenge to teach a class on a regular basis though I love teaching U.S. history. I usually work better in a one-on-one setting so it is a new experience for me.

KAJN: Do the alumni teachers feel a bond? DH:There aren't any general studies teachers in the boys' division that are alumni of Yeshiva as far as I know. [There are, however, various female teachers in some ofthe other divisions who are alumnae; perhaps an upcoming Spotlights will profile one ofthem.]

KAJN: How is YRSRH different these days than when you were a student? DH:The Yeshiva is very different since when I was a student. Not only in the placement of the classrooms and the moving of the lower elementary girls' division to the former girls' high school building, but also the staff of Yeshiva, for the most part, has changed; different principals, teachers, and even many of the Rebbeim. Smartboards and marker boards were not used when I was a student; we only had chalkboards. It is also interesting how the middle school is more combined with the elementary division and is not in the high school division.

KAJN: Are you working together with teachers who taught you? Can you tell me a bit about your relationship now as colleagues? DH: Mrs. Israel and Rabbi Hoffman are the only general studies teachers still teaching here that were my teachers, too. I had Rabbi Hoffman as my first grade Rebbi and 5th-grade general studies teacher, and Mrs. Israel taught 3rd-grade English (and still does). I have substituted for Mrs. Israel and it was an interesting experience to be a substitute teacher for my teacher in the same class. I have talked to Mrs. Israel a few times about how things have changed and how education has changed in the school and society.

KAJN: Thank you so much for your time, Dovid, and Hatzlocho Rabbo with all the many things you are doing!
