own yeshiva, Torah Ore in Brooklyn in 1960. The Sheinbergs always did chesed for others.
Their daughters would someties sleep two in a bed so they could give guests someplace to sleep.
Teaching Kibud Av VEm
Rav Sheinbergs daughter remembers her father asking her to pick up his shoes. She asked him, Papa,
youre right there. Why cant you? He answered matter of factly that if he picked them up, I wouldnt
have the mitzvah!
Move to Israel
In 1963, Bessie's sister, Ruchoma Shain went to visit Rav Herman, their father, who lived in
Israel.While there, she toured a new neighborhood that was just being built and decided to move
there. The Sheinbergs also decided to move their family and yeshiva to Israel. They moved to
Israel in May 1965 with a married daughter Rebbetzin Fruma Rochel Altusky, a son and his
family and over 20 students.
Rav Scheinberg was in Israel for two years before the Six Day War broke out. Many Americans
returned home. Rav Sheinberg encouraged his students to stay. He stayed with his talmidim and
even slept with them in the bomb shelter. After the war, Rav Scheinberg built a permanent home
for his yeshiva. Torah Ore.As of 2011, the yeshiva enrolls nearly 800 students, including over
500 kollel students.
A Wife and parter
Bessie was a partner in all that Rav Sheinberg did. She opened her home to the thousands who
streamed o the apartment for advice and brachos. She even installed a telephone in theirbedroom so callers could reach the Rav at any hour. On Simchas Torah, hundreds of singing
and dancing students would escort their Rosh Yeshiva home. When he came upstairs, he would
say to her Did you see that? Did you see all those students singing and dancing? That was all
because of you. It's all yours, Basha". Whenever his Rebbetzin would come to the yeshiva, Rav
Sheinberg would give up his seat because of all the devotion she had for building the yeshiva. He
would say "Basha, this seat belongs to you". When Rebbetzin Sheinber was 96, she was nifteres.
They had been been married for close to 80 years.
A Leader of Klal Yisrael
Despite his age, Rav Scheinberg continues to make visits to America. On the plane he tries to
learn the entire masechta Niddah. He is known not to wast a minute. His driver recounted that
Rav Sheinberg always has a sefter with him and even propped up a Mishnah Berura on a shelf in
the kitchen when he helped by washing the dishes.Rav Sheinberg is also famous for wearing
many layers of tzitzis. No one knows the reason for this practice.
May Rav Sheinberg continue to lead and inspire klal Yisrael!
