Rabbi Gershon Hirsch, a leading Lithuanian Torah figure and head of the Mir Yeshiva's overseas network, visited Rabbi Shlomo Miller — the Av Beit Din (head of the rabbinical court) of Toronto — on Tuesday night, according to footage posted by journalist Shimon Weisberg. The two are described as longtime friends.
The visit is part of Rabbi Hirsch's ongoing fundraising tour for World Torah Fund (Keren Olam HaTorah), which began in Canada earlier Tuesday. As The Zioneer reported, Rabbi Hirsch departed for the US last week on a multi-city trip; the Canadian leg follows that.
No additional meetings or itinerary details for the Toronto segment were disclosed in the footage, which showed a brief encounter at Rabbi Miller's home.
