The Legacy Lives On<br />
<strong>Inaugural</strong> Tribute <strong>Dinner</strong><br />
HAGAON RAV CHAIM<br />
KREISWIRTH k"eumz<br />
AN INTERGENERATIONAL BRIDGE<br />
Every day in vrag vbuna we pray that Hashem extend His mercy ohshxjv kgu ohehsmv kg<br />
ovhrpux ,hc ,yhkp kgu ktrah ,hc lng ,hrta hbez kgu. While we know who the first three groups<br />
are, the identity of the last one (ovhrpux ,hc ,yhkp – the remnant of the scholars) is a<br />
bit enigmatic. Who are these remnants on whose behalf we implore Hashem?<br />
The key to our survival as a Torah Nation is the unbroken chain of vruxn from hbhx.<br />
While every generation has its saints and scholars they alone do not guarantee<br />
true Jewish continuity. We must have people who serve as bridge figures linking<br />
us with our glorious past. In every generation ktrah kkf had great men who lived<br />
in an earlier time and served as the remnant of scholars helping us imbibe the<br />
glorious spiritual heritage with its authentic Jewish esthetic and values, into our<br />
bones.<br />
For our generation Rav Kreiswirth k"eumz was ovhrpux ,hc ,yhkp – the remnant of<br />
the scholars. He lived for ktrah kkf and served as a bridge for young and old alike<br />
linking them to the spiritual wealth and existential Toras Chaim of his youth and<br />
milieu. With his encyclopedic knowledge of Torah and his sense of responsibility<br />
for ktrah kkf he was a larger than life model of how one could view life and live life<br />
through the prism of Torah, developing pristine princely ,ushn and true ktrah ,cvt<br />
and ohna ,trh. He lit up the world with his ohhj ,ru, and his sxj ,cvt and by his very<br />
essence called on us to pursue ever-expanding horizons of Torahdik growth and<br />
greatness.<br />
It is this legacy that we celebrate tonight with a heartfelt vkhp, that we at Toras<br />
Chaim loyally convey his vision to each and every one of our beloved ohshnk,.
