 | | Rabbi Schach was appointed to the Council of Torah Sages, and became president of the group, generally regarded as the supreme council of the ultra-orthodox establishment. |
| | By the time he was 13, Shach had outgrown Ponevezh, and was sent to the Knesset Yisrael yeshiva in Slobodka, where his intellectual potential attracted the attention of the head of the yeshiva, Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer. |
| | In the 1940s, a few years after the establishment of the Ponevezh yeshiva in Bnei Brak, he was invited to be one of its heads -- a position he held until his death. |
