 Kotler, Aharon | Encyclopedia of Religion
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.
In 1935 Kotler visited the United States, where he discussed the need for an American yeshivah that would be designed not for the training of rabbis and religious professionals but for the study of Torah for its own sake.

Reb Aharon transcended the walls of his own yeshivah and was the Rosh Yeshivah of all yeshivos: In the early days of the war he was a leading spirit in the hatzalah (rescue) effort to save the fleeing remnants of the European yeshivos, who were later to breathe life into the American and Israeli yeshivos.

Kotler saw the lack of a large Jewish community in Lakewood as an advantage, a way of shielding his students from communal demands and insuring their relative isolation.
Kotler was an active participant in communal politics, and a surviving photograph shows him posed with other, non-Orthodox members of the kehila, a representative body that helped run the town's affairs.
Kotler's decision to devote himself to institution-building rather than attempt to emulate his father's luster and charisma as a teacher was also fateful: it allowed a more independent model of study to emerge that proved immensely popular.

 Gel-Caps and Gelatin
Rabbi Kotler advances the creative and persuasive argument22 that even according to the opinion that once gelatin has been rendered inedible it remains permissible even if restored to being edible, gelatin would still be forbidden because it is analogous to yeast.
Rabbi Aharon Kotler (Mishnat Rabbi Aharon I:16-17) seeks to demonstrate that the prohibition is biblical in nature.
Rabbi Kotler (Mishnat Rabbi Aharon 1:16) rules that gelatin from a kosher source is considered Pareve and Rabbi Feinstein (Igrot Moshe, Yoreh Deah I:37 and II:27) rules that gelatin produced from the skin of a Kosher animal is considered Pareve.

 Judaism 101 - Rav Aharon Kotler - A Glossary of Basic Jewish Terms and Concepts - OU.ORG
Rav Aharon Kotler was one of the very few Torah giants who contributed mightily to the transformation of the face of American Jewry in the middle of the twentieth century from one of Torah ignorance and mourning over the Holocaust to significant progress in Torah knowledge and partial recovery from the tragedy of the Holocaust.
By the time Rav Aharon passed away, there were hundreds of talmidim, and they were beginning to have a major impact on Torah education in America.
One of Rav Aharon’s maxims was “One should imagine that his entire spiritual standing is literally dependent on how he utilizes the present moment, for the time that comes afterwards is a completely different entity.”

Yet, in a statement issued Tuesday in response to queries from the Forward, Kotler rejected Grama’s philosophy and said that he had not carefully reviewed the text prior to endorsing it.
Kotler’s disavowal of the book on Tuesday came at the end of an intense, day-long scramble during which the Anti-Defamation League and the chancellor of Yeshiva University condemned the book, and several ultra-Orthodox communal spokesmen tried to convince the Forward not to report its existence.
Kotler said that he would be willing to discuss the project at a later date, but not the same week that the Forward was writing an article on Grama’s book.

While the rabbanim of Manhattan relied on mefulash u’mechuvanim m’shaar l’shaar and mechitzos to allow an eruv, Rav Aharon maintained that nevertheless Manhattan would be classified as a reshus harabbim and an eruv would not be permissible (see Mishnas Rav Aharon, 6:2 for his reasoning).
It is important to note, that if Rav Aharon zt”l objected to the criterion of shishim ribo there would be no city, large or small, were we would have the ability to erect an eruv of tzuras hapesachim.
This is since almost all city streets meet the criterion of 16 amos and Rav Aharon maintained that the criterion of mefulash u’mechuvanim is conditional of a walled city.
