Rav Aaron Olshin, the eldest son of Rav Yeruchem Olshin, rosh yeshiva of Bais Medrash Govoah in Lakewood, NJ, will deliver a shiur klali today at the yeshiva in Lakewood, NJ.
This shiur klali marks the first instance of the next generation of yeshiva leadership, specifically the sons or sons-in-law of the current roshei yeshiva, delivering such a shiur.
The shiur klali is scheduled to take place at 12:45 p.m.
This shiur klali serves as a form of hachtarah for Rav Aaron, as he will assume the title of “R”M” at the yeshiva.
Rav Aaron, the eldest son of Rav Yeruchem, is married to Mrs. Reli Olshin, who is the daughter of Rav Yosef Mermelstein, rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Novominsk in Boro Park. She is a granddaughter of R’ Chaim Aryeh Mermelstein and Rav Tuvia Goldstein, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Emek Halacha.
Bais Medrash Govoah is famously led by four roshei yeshiva: Rav Aryeh Malkiel Kotler, Rav Yeruchem Olshin, Rav Dovid Schustal, and Rav Yisroel Neuman. Rav Kotler is a son of the rosh yeshiva Rav Shneur Kotler and a grandson of the yeshiva’s founder, Rav Aharon Kotler. Rav Schustal is a son-in-law of Rav Shneur Kotler. Rav Olshin and Rav Neuman are both sons-in-law of Rav Dov Schwartzman, who, in turn, was a son-in-law of Rav Aharon Kotler.
Until now, the process of succession for the current roshei yeshiva had not been initiated. This will begin with Rav Aaron Olshin’s shiur klali today, marking the installation of the younger generation from the respective families of the current roshei yeshiva as the future leaders of America’s largest yeshiva.
