Symchoni.” During World War II, he escaped with the Mirrer Yeshiva to Shanghai via Kobe, Japan. He settled in New York in 1947 where he served as editor of HaPardes, a journal of Talmudic studies. He also served as a member of the executive committee of Agudath Israel of America and chairman of the executive board of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis.
