Rabbi Yosef D. Soloveitchik
Pillars of the Past

As a youth, the Bais Ha Levy was mischievous and sharp-tongued but a defender of the less fortunate. In adulthood, those same qualities propelled him to greatness. With the story of the din Torah over Volozhiner Yeshiva, Rabbi Wein gives us more than the origins of Brisk; he treats us to a picture of how righteousness in one generation brings a happy ending for the next.
