	Aharon Kotler Summary
		KOTLER, AHARON (1892–1962), was a rabbi and prominent educator in eastern Europe and the United States.
		A child prodigy, Kotler was sent as a youth to study in the famous musar-yeshivah of Slobodka (near modern-day Kaunas, Lithuania), which emphasized Talmudic studies as well as ethics and self-improvement.
		Aharon (or Ahroyn, Aaron, Aron) Kotler (1891 - 1962) was a prominent leader of Orthodox Judaism in Lithuania, and later the United States of America, where he built one of the first yeshivas in the US.

	Beyond Pshat - Parshas Bamidbar, 5765 - Torah.org
		Reb Aaron Kotler z'tl explains that the students of Rebbe Akiva were the sages who were responsible for the transmission of Torah to the future generations.
		The Torah states, "These are the offspring of Aaron and Moshe...These are the names of the sons of Aaron, the firstborn was Nadav, and Avihu, Elazar, and Ithamar." Although the verse is addressing the offspring of both Aaron and Moshe, it only mentions the sons of Aaron.
		It seems from the verse that Aaron's sons are being identified as Moshe's sons.

		Rabbi Aaron Kotler of Beth Medrash Govoha school in Lakewood, whose tax file was one of the documents reviewed by Shain, expressed indignation that Shain had suggested any impropriety or that the private religious school had anything to hide.
		Shain had told the Tri-Town News that Kotler’s school had not provided a response to a letter sent by the tax assessor’s office in conjunction with maintaining the school’s tax exempt status on several of its properties.
		Kotler said he believed that Shain’s request for tax documents maintaining the tax-exempt status of properties owned by Beth Medrash Govoha was made in retaliation.

		Rav Aaron Kotler, a leading Torah sage from the previous generation and founder of the famed Lakewood Yeshiva, explains that the building of the Beit HaMikdash is the act that brings Hashem's presence closer to us.

		Because of this, it is forbidden to disrupt the studies of the children, even for the rebuilding of the Beit HaMikdash, since the presence of Hashem and the holiness of the Temple begin with the study of Torah.

	Jew versus Jew by Samuel Freedman
		Kotler typified the Orthodox clergy and laity who considered America the Treif Medinah, who had persevered in Europe through pogroms and expulsions, survived the hatred of Christians who believed that Jews not only had killed Christ but slew little babies to use their blood in Passover matzah.
		Were it not for the impending Holocaust, in other words, Aaron Kotler might never have touched these shores.
		From the remnants of European Jewry other Orthodox scholars and rabbis emigrated with the same fierce, desperate passion to recreate in the New World what the Nazis had sought to incinerate in the Old, and thus to prove it was God and Torah that once more had permitted Jews to survive.
