“My heart is full of grief…when I heard that that the home of the erudite, reknowned…Rabbi Joseph Rosen was burnt with all of his possessions including his scholarly manuscripts …Needing to travel overseas to raise money for his city, he is one of the great, celebrated Rabbis, seldom does such a great figure arise.”
