Kassin ZT”L Y e s h i vat S h a a r e Tor a h AS OUR COMMUNITY CONTINUES TO MOURN the passing of our Chief Rabbi, Hagaon Harav Shaul Kassin ZT”L, we reflect on the impact the Rabbi has had on all of us. Bridging divides, encumbering a sense of holiness and strengthening the link to the previous generations, were all hallmarks of Hacham Shaul’s leadership. We as a community have lost someone to whom every spectrum of life regarded in high esteem. The Rabbi used his position to engender a community ripe for growth, expansion and Aliyah. Chief amongst the Rabbi’s accomplishments were his efforts in maintaining the sanctity of our community families. THE MEMORY OF THE RABBI’ S INCREDI BLE WARMTH, SINCERITY AND LEADERSHI P SERVE AS A BEACON FOR US ALL .
