Thanks for the donation from R’ Shmuel Deutsch of Dublin, given to the Rosh Yeshiva of Etz Chaim, Rabbi Moshe Nechemiah Kahanov, who had just recently returned from his travels to those countries.
Rabbi Shmuel Salant (1816-1909) was the rabbi of Jerusalem for about 70 years. He was a renowned halachic adjudicator, noted for his remarkable memory and quick-witted intelligence. His writings were published in three volumes by his progeny, the Tikuchinsky family of the Etz Chaim Yeshiva.
