Grodno: Thursday, Parshath Shelach 1927
“R. Shimon” was a leading student of R. Chaim Soloveitchik and expert exponent of his particular method of Talmud study. He grew to become one of the most highly regarded Roshei Yeshiva in pre-war Europe, serving in Telz, Maltch and Brainsk, before opening his own Yeshiva in Grodno. His Talmudic novellae and lectures recorded in his magnum opus “Sha’arei Yosher” (1928) received universal praise. Rabbi Isaac Sodden (d. 1981) had a rabbinic career in New York that spanned over 60 years. He was the author of the multi-volume works Pnei HaShulchan (on halachah), Toldoth Yitzchak (collected sermons) and Derashoth Yitzchak Sodden.
