Rabbi Yisrael Motzen, rav of Ner Tamid Congregation was among the 40 rabanim who were part of an OU delgation bringing chizuk to our holy chayalim in person in Eretz Yisrael this week. He offers this “Rabbi Shmuel Silber appreciation post.”
Jerusalem, Israel – Nov. 1, 2023 – Despite going to sleep at ridiculous hours he has been giving an early morning daf every morning. Between our visits, heâs preparing on the bus.
It was also his idea to divide meseches Taanis among the participants to make a siyum tomorrow. The Kol Torah, the sweet sound of Torah permeates the bus daily.
And at every home, as we try to find the words to share with people whose lives have been turned upside down, itâs Rabbi Silber who is finding the words that penetrate and comfort their broken hearts.
