		The rabbinical and Talmudical graduates of the Slobodka Yeshiva tried to live up to a higher code of dress and deportment, to the point of being accused of being dandies.

		He was also one of his foremost disciples, possessing the ability to convey the Slobodka message to further generations and shape young men in both Torah and mussar, or rather, to inspire them to grow and attain their full ethical and spiritual heights.
		This was not the view taken by Slobodka however, where the bochurim were clean-shaven and wore short suit jackets, not as a concession but for reasons that belonged to the overall philosophy of the place.
		Reb Dovid joined the Slobodka yeshiva in 1908 and learned there for seven years, with the exception of a six month period in 1912 when the Alter sent him to learn in the new yeshiva in Rassein under HaRav Moshe Soloveitchik zt'l.

		It is based on an impressive array of written sources emanating both from the yeshiva world and from academia, old newspapers and magazines, his father's taped reminiscences, and an astounding 357 interviews (the interviewees are listed in the bibliography).
		We learn that Yakov Kamenetsky and a number of his fellow students at the yeshiva were the sole members of their families to retain Orthodox ties, and that even children of the most pious and learned among the rabbinical elite — the author names several of them — left the fold.
		The dean of the famous yeshiva in Telz, in fact, closed down his school for two months during 1905 so as to rid himself of such troublemakers and repopulate the yeshiva with more politically reliable young men.

		R' Moshe Sofer z"l (1763-1839; the "Chatam Sofer"; foremost rabbi and rosh yeshiva in 19th century Hungary) asks: The verse that praises the tzaddik for not sitting "in a session of scorners" implies that a tzaddik would sit with one scorner.
		In December 1940, upon the passing of Yeshiva College / Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan (RIETS) president, Rabbi Dr. Bernard Revel, R' Soloveitchik was proposed as a candidate for that position.
		The reason was that R' Soloveitchik was an active member of the Agudas Harabbonim / Union of Orthodox Rabbis (not to be confused with the O-U), an association of European-trained, Yiddish-speaking pulpit rabbis that was often at odds with the younger, American-trained and often-American-born, secularly- educated, RIETS graduates.

		One of the most prestigious yeshivas in Europe was the Yeshiva at Slobodka, in Lithuania.
		But each of these yeshivas has its own unique character, and each of these four distinguished Roshei Yeshiva is or was quite different from the other three.
		This is partly to their own credit, that each was able to develop his individual style within the single framework of the "Slobodka method", and partly to the credit of the Alter of Slobodka, who did not attempt to force his students into a single mold.

		The 29,000 Jews of the city of Kovno (Kaunas) who survived the initial onslaught were forced to fence themselves into a ghetto within the confines of the poor suburb of Vilijampole (known to Jewish residents as Slobodka).
		Kovno enjoyed a flourishing Jewish culture, was a center of Zionist activity and home of the Slobodka Yeshiva, one of Europe's most prestigious institutions of Jewish learning.
		With the German onslaught, Slobodka's synagogues and schools, once visited by scholars from all over the world, were now in ruins, religious materials confiscated and learning forbidden.
