Brother-in-law of R. Isser Zalman Meltzer, R. Moshe Mordechai Epstein was one of the outstanding Roshei Yeshivas of Lithuania. His novellae, responsa and lectures are recorded in the multi-volume “Levush Mordechai.”
Shortly before R. Moshe Mordechai opened a branch of the Slabodka Yeshiva in Hebron, he travelled to the United States on a fund-raising mission, it was there he became closely connected to the Golding Family of New York.
