Aaron Moshe Schechter (also Aharon Moshe Schechter) is the rosh yeshiva ("dean") of the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin and its post-graduate Talmudical division Kollel Gur Aryeh as well as of all the branches of the yeshiva in Brooklyn, New York City that includes an elementary school and a high school for young Jewish boys, teenagers, and young men almost exclusively drawn from the surrounding community of Haredi Jews living in Midwood, Brooklyn. The total number of students at the "Chaim Berlin" institutions is close to three thousand students. Rabbi Schechter was born in Brooklyn in the 1920s and became a disciple of Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner after being enrolled in the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin as a young child. His father belonged to the Young Israel movement and was befriended by Rabbi Hutner who had arrived in America in the 1930s. ==Disciple of Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner== Rabbi Hutner chose Rabbi Schechter for leadership positions in the yeshiva even prior to Rabbi Schechter's marriage. He encouraged Rabbi Schechter to write a rabbinic commentary on Maimonides that he called ''Avodas Aharon'' and Rabbi Hutner wrote a glowing approbation: :...I recognized in you that your heart is the heart of the lion in all areas of the Torah: In ''hilchot deiot'' ("laws of ideas"), ''chovot halevavot'' ("duties of the heart"), and in the mitzvot of the limbs. And now that I have merited to see you in terms of a man elevated as a ''gaon'' ("genius") in Torah and knowledge... :...''Avodat Aharon'' is the suitable name. Since this name combines the unique manner of your spiritual direction...that is combining the totality of the light of Torah and the light of ''avoda'' ("serving ()") into one light. And I pray and my blessings to you is, my beloved, that these two lights of Torah and ''avoda'' will be purely upon your head, and from upon your brow shall shine forth the holy ''tzitz'' ("gold plate") like all the Torah and ''avoda'' of Aaron. And in its light shall you perceive light to complete your portion in the Torah, in depth and completion, like the good hand of God that is upon you, and may your friends rejoice, and may your disciples be raised through your hand to light up the world with the light of Torah and knowledge of God. :The one who loves you and desires the ''shalom'' ("completeness and greatness") of your Torah. :Yitzchok Hutner.〔Aharon Moshe Schechter, ''Sefer Avodat Aharon'' (Shulsinger Brothers, 1957)〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Aaron Schechter」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
