To all esteemed students, cherished friends, and admirers of the revered

HaRav HaGaon Zevulun Charlop, may his memory be for a blessing,

HaRav Zevulun Charlop, zt”l, a luminary in his own right and the grandson of the illustrious HaRav Yaakov Moshe Charlap, Rosh Yeshiva of Mercaz HaRav in Jerusalem, graced our world with his profound wisdom and unwavering dedication. For countless years, he served as one of the Rashei Yeshiva and director of the esteemed Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary at Yeshiva University in New York, leaving an indelible mark on generations of students.

Rav Charlop's legacy extends far beyond the confines of the classroom. He was not only a masterful teacher, guiding many souls towards repentance, but also a pillar of compassion and generosity, extending his support to those in need with unwavering kindness.

A towering figure in Torah scholarship, Rav Charlop's pen was as mighty as his voice, as evidenced by his prolific writings on a myriad of Torah subjects. His genteel demeanor and noble lineage only added to the radiance of his character.

It is with great honor and reverence that the Encyclopedia Talmudit has chosen to dedicate volume 52 to the cherished memory of HaRav HaGaon Zevulun Charlop, zt”l. In doing so, Rav Charlop takes his rightful place among a distinguished array of scholars and philanthropists who have been similarly honored in the annals of this venerable institution.

Your participation in this monumental endeavor of the Encyclopedia Talmudit serves as both a tribute to the esteemed Rav Charlop and a testament to your profound appreciation for his contributions to Torah scholarship. Together, we ensure that the flame of Torah continues to burn brightly, illuminating the path for generations to come.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Rabbi Prof. Avraham Steinberg 

Head of the Encyclopedia Talmudit
