No. I am sorry I can't...As It says in my convoluted sentence above...Avram Wilkomerski, zt"l.

You can google his father's name and his for contextual references but I'm afraid my feeble ( but still at certain instances quite clear)memory is all we have to rely on for the moment. He was the rabbi at the funeral of Rothschild in Israel,the cantor and teacher at Chevra Tehillim Orthodox shule on 25th ave in SF for many years. If you are connected to Rv. Zarchi, perhaps there are one or two old timers that were friends or sons or family of his friends that can enlighten you further.

I just can't make this stuff up,Rabbi.

I just can't.

Chodesh Tov!

Chazon Ish Education
Bs"d

The son of one of the world's greatest Chazonim,Cantor Wilkemerski named Avraham (zt"l),who was also a cantor and the head rabbi for the IDF relayed his experience at that yeshiva to me:

If he did not memorize a full page of Gemara everyday by heart (bal peh),he would recieve a swat on his hands with a wooden ruler.

I feel your pain.

None other than the famous Chazon Ish was his teacher,and I sure hope this is not loshon hara esp. about the dead,as I'm sure ten people know of this fact.

Baruch Hashem.Times have changed for the better.

I hope.

  Perhaps it's not Lashon Hara, but it's certainly Bizayon Talmid Chacham, and most probably sheker as well.
  
  We need to do Teshuva. The world is not Hefker. Even online.

Maybe the real pearl of this story is we are commanded to judge our brother favorably and only rebuke from a place of love. We are too quick to believe the worst and speak without thinking. It's important to remember if we judge our brother harshly we are giving over to Hashem the way we wish to be judged as He will ultimately judge us Mida Kneged Mida..

Amazing. I can say from experience getting expelled from a school not only spiritually kills a person but also physically. A teenager does not have enough self esteem or mental strength to be turned down by someone and an institution that is supposed to be a role model. Would you also be able to give a shuir on the point of view of the parents of a child who has a friend that misbehaves in school. An argument I am sure you have heard many times what do you do with a child who is influencing other children. Its amazing the way everything in life you can bring examples from the torah. Thanks for the shuirim!
