Hamodia is saddened to announce the petirah ofHarav Shmuel Miller, zt”l, who was niftartoday after an extended illness.
Rav Miller was the son of Harav Avigdor Miller, zt”l, and began learning in Mesivta Rabeinu Chaim Berlin where his father was Mashgiach. He eventually went to learn under Harav Aharon Kotler, zt”l, in Bais Medrash Govoha of Lakewood, and always considered himself his talmid. Rav Shmuel was one of the last remaining talmidim of Harav Aharon Kotler, zt”l.
In addition, he travelled to Eretz Yisrael where he learned in Brisk under Harav Berel Soloveichik, zt”l.
Rav Shmuel began his harbatzas Torah in Yeshiva of Eastern Parkway, where he said shiurim together with Harav Chaim Leib Epstein, zt”l. When the yeshiva dissolved, he started Yeshiva Gedolah Beis Yisroel in the Midwood section of Brooklyn, where he established a Kollel, a Yeshiva Gedolah and a Mesivta. The yeshiva grew in quality and quantity, and produced many talmidei chachamim. Rav Avigdor Miller would join the yeshiva for its mussar seder, and said a weekly shmuez for the talmidim.
When the demographics of Brooklyn changed, Rav Miller first transferred the yeshiva to Bayswater in Queens for a short period of time, and eventually moved it to the Raintree neighborhood in Lakewood, NJ, where it flourished for the past few years.
Rav Shmuel’s rebbitzen, Rebbitzen Miriam (née Pancer) passed away several weeks ago from COVID-19.
Rav Miller is survived by his brother Reb Eliezer Miller (Flatbush); his sisters, Rebbitzen Libby Leshinsky, Rebbitzen Scheinah Brog, and Rebbitzen Devorah Kanarek (Peekskill), and his 10 children, who are renowned as marbitzei Torah.
Yehi zichro baruch.
With his father, Harav Avigdor Miller, zt”l. (Tsemach Glenn)(Menachem Adleman)

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. Dr. Soloveitchik told me that he never understood why Talmud was not being more systematically taught at Stern College. He had been raised with the impression that it was natural for women to study Talmud. As a child, Dr. Soloveitchik had studied with his father, Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik, together with his older sisters, Atarah and Tovah. When he began, at the age of ten, studying Talmud with the Rav, Dr. Soloveitchik joined as a junior participant in their class. The same culture was manifest at Maimonides School in Boston, which his father and mother, Dr. Tonya Soloveitchik, had founded, and where boys and girls studied Talmud in the same classes. By this time, many of Stern’s Jewish Stud...
| Profiles |: The biala rebbe of bnei brak All credit goes to Aryeh ehrlich and the mishpacha By Aryeh Ehrlich | September 18, 2017 Email Print According to the Biala Rebbe of Bnei Brak, we’re a worthy generation that engages in Torah and chesed like never before. “There has never been such a wonderful and dynamic generation so wonderful. There are problems? Nu you can always find problems. But come let’s talk about the positive qualities of the generation. 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...
