Baruch Dayan Ha’emes.
Boruch Dayan Ho’emes!
I believe he was a son of the famous R. Eli Munk of Paris, who wrote famous seforim on chumash and the siddur, which were translated into English).
He used to daven by Rav Binyomin Paler z”l Shabbos morning in Boro Park years ago, before Telz.
BDE A Taiyara Yid. Always had something nice to say Never heard him complain I grew up in that Bais Medrash and used to go back after I got married when visiting. He treated everyone with Kovod and although a a talmud of the origional Telz in Cleveland never boasted. Shmoozed with those 2generations younger than him with such anivus.
May he be a Mailitz Yosher to his Chashuva Mishpacha and Klal Yisroel.
