Gatherings and hespedim continued around the world within the Torah commounity over the loss of HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman, zt"l, who passed away on 24 Kislev at the age of 104.

Agudath Israel Kinus Hisorerus about HaRav Shteinman zt"l's Legacy
Hundreds, including scores of leading Roshei Yeshiva and Rabbanim, braved the frigid cold on Sunday evening 13 Teves, December 13, to attend a Kinus Hisorerus VeHesped following the recent petirah of Hagaon HaRav Aharon Yehuda Leib Shteinman zt"l.

HaRav Shteinman zt"l on the Internet Threat

By HaRav Sholom Schwadron zt'l
The Seeds of Redemption
"And these are the names of bnei Yisroel who came to Egypt . . . " (Shemos 1:1).
