The Kesher family tragically lost our very special Rabbi Avraham Yeshaya German this year (29 Nissan 5772). While we still mourn the gadol we had in our midst, so many of us have taken steps of growth in his memory and zechus. Even though Rabbi German is not with us in this world, he is still continuing to inspire us every day. We hope this compilation of hespedim and letters is a source of chizuk to all of you.
