Boruch Dayan Ha’emes.

Agudath Israel of America is devastated at the loss today of one of the great Torah leaders of our generation, Rav Aharon Schechter, zt�l. Rav Schechter was Rosh HaYeshiva of Yeshiva and Mesivta Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin, and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah for decades.

�There are no words. We are reeling,� said Rabbi Chaim Dovid Zwiebel, executive vice president of Agudath Israel. �Rav Schechter was a true exemplar of da’as Torah, and a tangible link to the Torah and hashkofah of his great Rebbe, the Rosh HaYeshiva Rav Yitzchok Hutner zt�l. His involvement in the many needs of Klal Yisroel was legendary. The entire Jewish world has suffered a terrible blow with his death.�

The levaya is scheduled for 12:45 pm in Brooklyn at Yeshiva Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin, 1585 Coney Island Avenue, between Avenues L and M).
