Approbation

Rabbi Ezriel Auerbach

Rabbi of the Chanichei HaYeshivot Congregation, Bayit Vegan, Jerusalem

"With reference to the plan to institute a Beit Midrash where issues of Halacha and its practical implications will be clarified through uncompromising group efforts...

Rabbi Shmuel Jakobovits has singled out some of the finest Torah scholars, outstanding in their ability to penetrate and apply Halachic sources, and elicited their consent to join together under one roof – prominent, senior men with younger Halachic masters – in order to realize this vitally important plan.

Having made the acquaintance of Rabbi Jakobovits, in the course of numerous discussions, I can attest that he complies fully with the traditions of the preeminent Torah authorities, that he seeks their advice about all matters pertaining to this Beit Midrash, and that he has the proper, responsible approach, according with the rules of Halachic interpretation that have been handed down to us from one generation to the next…

Therefore, I call upon you... to take part in establishing and supporting this Beit Midrash…"
