Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, at His Granddaughter’s Wedding, Instructs the Chosson to Dance with His Zaide, Rav Shechter, First
Last night, a granddaughter of the zekan roshei yeshivos, Hagaon Rav Shmuel Kamenetsky, married a grandson of Rav Hershel Shechter, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas REITS.
At the wedding, as the first dance started, after the opening songs, the musician Yossi Greensweig began playing Yomim al yemei melech tosif and the chosson began dancing with his kallah’s grandfather, Rav Kamenetsky.
After a few seconds, Rav Kamenetsky began whispering something into the chosson’s ear, apparently telling him that he should dance with his own zaide, Rav Schachter, first. Only then did Rav Kamenetsky dance with the chosson.
This display of humility and kavod was lost on no one.
Ashreinu that we are zocheh to the exalted example of Maran Hagaon Rav Shmuel.
