I learned in bais shraga rabbi schiff was a real tzadik and an extremely nice man. One funny story he called me over during first seder to talk in learning with me when we were done he looks at me and said do you smoke, you smell like smoke and we dont allow smoking in yeshiva. I said of course not rosh hayeshiva! (i lied) then he started pleading with me to be mochel him for being choshed b’cheshairim needless to say i felt like trash

Rav schiff was my rebbe in 1951 or 1952 IN YESHIVA ZICHRON MOSHE IN THE BRONX .I can still hear his voice talking to me in class. I met him one time many years later at a wedding. Little did i know his yichus then.Y”ZB.
