American Rov to Visit England
by Yated Ne'eman Staff
Rabbi Eliyohu Yehoshua Geldzahler, son-in-law of Rabbi
Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler, has kindly accepted an invitation
from the Gateshead Kollel Harabbonim to be in Gateshead for
the 50th yahrtzeit of his revered late father-in-law.
He will address a special kenes in honor of Rabbi
Dessler at the Kollel on 25th Teves. He will also present
shiurim and talks at other Gateshead mosdos.
It is just 63 years since Rabbi Dessler first set foot in
Gateshead, then a very small kehilla, to establish the
Kollel Harabbonim. Since those early days, the Kollel has
provided Klal Yisroel with scores of prominent
rabbonim, dayanim, roshei yeshiva and leading teaching
personnel, gracing communities and Torah mosdos in all
parts of the world. For the development of Gateshead as a
unique Torah metropolis, Rabbi Dessler's influence has been
monumental.
Rabbi Geldzahler is a charismatic speaker who is rosh yeshiva
of Ohr Israel Yeshiva in the Queens Borough of New York,
where he has a considerable following. He is author of a
multi-volume comprehensive publication on Seder
Kodshim, widely acclaimed by all studying this intricate
subject. His visit promises to be a source of inspiration and
excitement. His host in Gateshead will be Rabbi Chaim
Kaufman.
