  1. Today 25 Sivan is also the Yahrzeit of one of our Roshei Yeshiva at Torah Vodaas, Harav Aron Yeshaya Shapiro zt”l. He was a Talmid of the Mir in Europe and also learned with Harav Shimon Shkop zt”l. Rav Aron Yeshaya wrote the sefer Shaarei Yosher for R’ Shimon. He then gave a shiur in Torah Vodaas for 40 years.
