The following is a stream of thoughts and impressions on the loss of our Rav Sheftel, zt”l, which is still so fresh and real. Harav Sheftel Meir ben Harav Naftali Halevy Neuberger was a Legend of a man, a Lion for all of klal Yisrael, and a Leader for his yeshiva, Yeshivas Ner Yisroel of world renown. I was privileged to call myself a talmid of his for close to 24 years, during which time he made an indelible and everlasting impression on me along with thousands upon thousands of talmidim around the world.
