To Properly Pray For HaRav Shlomo Leib Brevda shlita
In Tishrei, 5772, HaRav Shlomo Brevda addressed the public gathered in Heichal Shmuel
of Kiryat Mattersdorf, mentioning that he remembered the impact of the prayers on
behalf of HaRav Yitzchok Zev of Brisk for continued long life to the point that
Brisker Rov noted it, himself. HaRav Brevda brought to the attention of his audience
the fact that the Brisker Rav passed away late on erev Yom Kippur, a time when
everyone was preoccupied with preparations for Yom Kippur, and had, apparently,
temporarily discontinued praying for him.
Within the hallowed walls of the Pressburg "shiur shtub," the anticipation was
palpable. One mighty voice roared forth, teaching Torah, instilling middos and
ingraining life's true values. The Chumash shiur of the holy Chasam Sofer zt"l, was
not confined to imparting the knowledge of the posuk, Rashi and Ramban. In addition,
it was used as a tool for weaving in the all- important messages that he included in
the pshat.
