In what has become an annual event, a large crowd gathered at the Kedushas Yisroel Shul this past Motzaei Shabbos Parshas Vayeira to commemorate the 66th yahrzeit of the great gaon of Baltimore, HaRav Michoel HaKohein Forshlager, zt’l. Rabbi Yisachar Frand, shlita, spoke at length about the gaon’s immense contribution to building Torah in America, particularly in Baltimore, where he was instrumental in encouraging HaGaon HaRav Yaakov Yitzchok Ruderman, zt’l, to establish Yeshivas Ner Yisrael.
Afterward, Rabbi Amrom Jungreis, shlita, Rav of Kedushas Yisroel and Rosh Kollel of K’hal Chassidim, spoke about the greatness of Rav Forshlager and the tremendous yeshuos people experience at his kever. He shared firsthand stories, including a personal account.
The Ziditchover Rebbe of Baltimore, HaRav Yissochor Dov Eichenstein, shlita, then addressed the crowd, highlighting the immense koach of Rav Forshlager and the profound impact he had on Baltimore.
