Yehuda Kalman Marlow: Difference between revisions

Line 29:

After the wedding, Rabbi Marlow worked as an educator at the Lubavitcher Yeshiva and became a beloved teacher. Even when the burden of making a living fell upon him, he never stopped studying Torah for a moment. In the morning hours, he would teach at the yeshiva, and after classes ended, he would go to the synagogue and sit down to study with diligence and persistence. Only in the late night hours would he return home.

At that time, Rabbi Zalman Shimon Dvorkin served as the rabbi of Crown Heights, speaking mainly in Yiddish and not having a good command of English. Baalei teshuva (newly religious Jews) who joined the community and spoke only English could not communicate with the community's rabbi and preferred to ask Rabbi Marlow, who was fluent in English. Rabbi Marlow, who did not want to rule on Jewish law in front of his rabbi, would not respond directly to questioners but would open the Shulchan Aruch to the relevant section and study it with them until they understood what the Shulchan Aruch ruled in such a case.

Every year he would complete several tractates in depth, and before each holiday, he would thoroughly review all the laws related to that holiday. He also had a special study schedule for learning the laws applicable throughout the year. He knew the entire Torah with Rashi's commentary and Targum Onkelos by heart, and was a very precise Torah reader. The cantillation marks were fluent on his tongue.
