Forgive me for returning the important Gift to him, I have forever refrained from receiving from Ba'ali Simcha - A very interested letter from Rabbi Shimon Schwab - R. Shimon Schwab (1908-1995), was born in Frankfurt and after early education in the “Hirschian” educational system, he traveled to Lithuania where he learned in the great Yeshivos of Telz and Mir. Known as an outstanding Talmid Chochom, he served as a Rav upon his return to Germany. Following the rise of Nazism, he immigrated to America accepting a rabbinical post in Baltimore. In 1958, he joined Rav Breuer as Rav of the Khal Adas Jeshurun in Washington Heights, eventually succeeding him in 1982. Tremendously respected, he was an ideologue of Agudas Yisroel, specifically defending the “Torah im Derech Eretz” approach to Jewish life.
