“Whether its inclusion, or women’s leadership, or serious learning for men… or the high schools he created in America… or the aguna advocacy… or the tens of thousands we interact with through our shlichut program or the hundreds of thousands we interact with through the work we do in the Israeli community centers… Rabbi Riskin has literally changed the Jewish world and society in general. We want to pay tribute to that – and what better way to do that than to give Rabbi Riskin a Sefer Torah? Because Rabbi Riskin is a walking Sefer Torah.”

Rabbi Brander joined Nachum Segal yesterday on JM in the AM to talk about next week’s Hachnasat Sefer Torah in honor of Rabbi Riskin.
