New Book Honors Rabbi Schwei’s Memory

A new sefer in memory of HaRav Aharon Yakov Schwei z”l, the late Rav of Crown Heights, is soon to be released. This sefer is named “Sefer Zikoron – Tiferes Ish,” ‘ISH’ being an acronym for Rabbi Schwei’s name.

This hard-cover sefer of 500 pages includes an extensive biography and personal recounts of the life of the Rav.

The book will also feature several letters of the Rebbe, published for the first time, where the Rebbe refers to the Rav as “Shlita” when he was still a bochur, and many other special titles.

Rabbi Schwei was a talented artist, and several color copies of his drawings and artwork are included in this sefer.

The book will also include an extensive collection of letters of rabbonim from 200 years ago, published for the first time by Rabbi Ahrele Tiefenbrun Shlita.

Chidushei Torah of tens of Rabbonim and Roshei Yeshivos from around the globe, written in memory of Rabbi Schwei, have been compiled for the book, as well as transcripts of the speeches given by Rabbonim at the conclusion of the shiva of Rabbi Schwei.

This book will be available for sale in Crown Heights bookstores within the coming weeks.

There is a limited window of opportunity to add hakdoshos to the sefer. If you’d like to participate, please call: 917-698-8104.
