  Forty Years Later: The Rav’s Opening Shiur at the Stern College for Women Beit Midrash By   Saul Berman  -   October 9, 2017 All credit goes to him and to thelehrhaus.com In late 1976, Dr. Haym Soloveitchik and I met to discuss Jewish Studies at Stern College for Women.

Believe me in comparison the problems are batel b’shishim” (Photos: Shuki Lehrer Biala archives) I t was the first thing I noticed when I entered the building of the Biala chassidus on Rechov Yerushalayim in Bnei Brak: the crates of cucumbers. You’d expect the entrance of a prominent institution to be its showcase with memorial plaques on the walls and at least one potted plant in the corner. But it seems that for Biala–Bnei Brak stacked crates of vegetables that take up half the floor space is a badge of ho...
