R. Shlomo Heiman. Speech given at the Second Agudah Convention in America. With a Hesped on R. Chaim Ozer and Churban Europe. Extremely Rare!
Long, four page speech handwritten by R. Shlomo Heiman (unsigned), given at the second Agudah Convention in America in the early 1940’s. Includes a passage dedicated to the passing of his Rebbi R. Chaim Ozer Grodzensky who was niftar shortly before. This is of particular interest as it was R. Chaim Ozer who advised R. Shlomo to leave the Ramielis Yeshiva in Vilna to become Rosh Yeshiva in Torah Vo’daas.
R. Shloime Heiman (1892-1945), commonly referred to in the Yeshiva world as “Reb Shloime”, was born in Paritsh, Minsk. When he was 12 years old, he went to learn in the Kaminetz Yeshiva under R. Baruch Ber Leibowitz, becoming one of his closest talmidim. In 1918, he married the daughter of R. Yochanan Rodensky of Volozhin, a brother-in-law of R. Simcha Zelig of Brisk. After his marriage, R. Baruch Ber asked R. Shlomo to deliver shiurim in the Kaminetz Yeshiva. There he became famous as one of Lithuania’s most outstanding lomdim and Maggidei Shiur. Later he also gave shiurim in the Ohel Torah Yeshiva of Baranovitch under the leadership of R. Elchonon Wasserman. In 1927, at the request of R. Chaim Ozer Grodzensky, R. Shlomo became Rosh Yeshivas of the Ramiellis Yeshiva in Vilna. In 1935, R. Shlomo was invited by R. Shraga Feivel Mendelowitz to serve as Rosh Yeshiva in Torah Vo’daas in New York, a position he accepted with the approval of R. Chaim Ozer, and where he remained until his passing.
