	Rabbi - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Within the Hasidic world, the positions of spiritual leadership are dynastically transmitted within established families, usually from fathers to sons, while a small number of students obtain official ordination to become dayanim ("judges") on religious courts, poskim ("decisors" of Jewish law), as well as teachers in the Hasidic schools.
		The same is true for the non-Hasidic mitnagdim yeshivas that are controlled by dynastically transmitted rosh yeshivas and the majority of students will not become rabbis, even after many years of post-graduate kollel study.
		Some yeshivas, such as Yeshiva Chofetz Chaim (in New York) and Yeshiva Ner Yisrael (in Baltimore, Maryland), may encourage their students to obtain ordination and mostly serve as rabbis who teach in other yeshivas or Hebrew day schools.

	Manchester Rosh Yeshiva Reb Yidel Segal
		In Mir, Reb Yehuda Zev formed a close bond with Rov Another gadol b'Torah to whom Reb Yehuda Zev was deeply attached was Reb Shimon Shkop, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Shaar HaTorah in Grodno.
		As the war intensified, the yeshiva expanded its rescue and relief efforts, organizing daily shiurim for young men who due to the war were unable to attend yeshiva full time.
		Although Reb Yehuda Zev was already serving unofficially as rosh yeshiva, some of the modern members of the board felt that due to his high standards of kedusha and meticulous mitzva observance, he might be unable to relate to the average laymen.

		Beginning with the exile of the yeshiva within Europe and continuing in the period in Shanghai, R' Leib was a fiery leader of the chaburah of Mir Yeshiva.
		In financing the yeshiva too, Reb Leib insisted on the same degree of perfection as he did in the way he ran the yeshiva and educated the talmidim, for example, by turning down huge sums offered by an individual who was married to a gentile woman.
		The chronicle of the yeshiva's exile ought to be placed on record in a special volume which should relate Hashem's kindness to the yeshiva as a whole, as well as to each individual.

	Anatomy of a slander - Jewish Media Resources
		The lie that Orthodox rabbis and laymen alike focused exclusively on the rescue of yeshiva students and roshei yeshiva is based on a cheap debater’s trick: the equation of the activity of the Vaad between 1939 and 1941 with all Orthodox rescue work.
		Further, the roshei yeshiva were afraid that they would be treated as enemies of the Soviet state and possibly executed for seeking to leave the Soviet Union.
		Each of the news stories generated by his book focused on the formation of the Vaad in 1939 to rescue roshei yeshiva and yeshiva students, and those efforts were cited as the primary proof of rabbinic indifference to the fate of other Jews.

		In many respects, despite seeking to study secular studies, R. Samuel Belkin was firmly rooted in the normative Yeshiva community as the individuals he uses as references include R. Hayyim Ozer Grodzenski, R. Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, (son of R. Nathan Tzvi Finkel, the famed Alter of Slabodka), and son-in-law of the rosh yeshiva of Mir.
		Belkin was clearly aware of the goings on at Yeshiva as he closes the letter by noting to Dr. Revel that R. Shmuel Greineman (who was visiting New York at the time) could also serve as a reference regarding R. Samuel Belkin's credentials.
		Not unlike many Yeshiva students of today, Belkin saw the Yeshiva as a place where his interest in the Western world could be cultivated, while not threatening or imperiling his dedication to Torah study.
