THINK: Yom HaShoah The Lives & Torah of Two Giants Of Vilna: Rav Haim Ozer and Rav Gustman

In this Yom HaShoah class we enter the world and learn the stories of two of the great rabbinic giants of Vilna - Rav Haim Ozer Grodzinski and Rav Yisrael Zev Gustman.

The first was the last great leader of Vilna Jewry and we read the piece describing his funeral 'The Day Vilna Died'.

The latter was the youngest Dayan of Vilna whose story is one of survival and the world that he built in Israel after the war and who articulated a powerful and unique take on God and the Shoah. The rest of the sources are available here

Learning about and honouring their lives and Torah is a fitting way to mark Yom HaShoah
