    One of the many things I regret about my days at RIETS, was not getting to know Rav Charlop. Tragic, really.

    Dude, not to rub it in, but the relationship that I developed with Rabbi Charlop is a real highlight of my time in RIETS. He is literally a maayan hamisgaber, of Torah, and Maasim of Gedolei Yisrael. Just a remarkable personality.

    Completely agree. The Mei Marom Chaburah was the highlight of my time in RIETS.
