Rav Yosef Weiss zt”l wasn’t just a menahel. He was a guide, a mashpiah, a friend, and an inspiration to thousands.
He was an individual who touched so many lives in so many ways.
His fatherly love and his expansive heart touched people of all ages.
To him, every person, every child, was a world unto himself, an olam maleh. He treated every individual as a vital, integral member of Klal Yisroel, and he accorded them the utmost respect, encouraging, guiding and uplifting.
As we remember and seek to emulate Rabbi Weiss, we are embarking on a campaign beginning with a dedication of a Sefer Torah in his memory, and continuing with adding his additional dream projects in Yeshiva.
