Last Sunday, the talmidim in Rabbi Tanchum Cohen’s Beis Midrash Kattan shiur had the unique opportunity to attend an azkarah commemorating the 31st yahrzeit of Rav Dovid Lifshitz zt”l in the Glueck Beis Midrash. Following an introduction by Rabbi Taubes to frame the morning, the program continued with remarks by Rabbi Meir Goldvicht, Rabbi Benjamin Yudin, and Rabbi Moshe Neiss, all of whom had the special privilege of getting to know Rav Dovid during their time in Yeshiva.
It was especially meaningful for the talmidim to attend this special event, considering they learn in the very same beis midrash in which Rav Dovid spent his time in Yeshiva, and in which the shulchan cover and various plaques bear his name. The talmidim also got the chance to hear additional stories by Rabbi Goldvicht and Rabbi Yudin, meeting with them after the program to hear more of their personal experiences with Rav Dovid zt”l.
MTA continues to be grateful to have the opportunity to join special events at Yeshiva University, while sharing the campus, and specifically the batei midrash.
