#MKY Friend-Submitted: You noted the yahrzeit of Rav Refoel Soloveitchik today, I was in Brisk when he was niftar and remember the levaya. Everyone spoke about how he took over his father's 'hardest' battle and made it his own, fighting against both autopsies and also disrespecting bones of meisim by construction workers. It wasn't a popular battle, and it never really ended. They would work at night, or out of sight, and it took all of Rav Refoel's koach and energy, but he didn't tire. The Torah of Brisk lives, but thanks to him, so does the sensitivity and halachic vigilance. (See attached sign 👆, a rare instance of the Brisker Rov signing a kol korei)
