This week’s idea on Mishna 2.6 has been written by Rabbi Shlomo Kimche. Rabbi Kimche was born in London and made aliya with his parents in 1969. He is a graduate of Yeshivat Shaalvim, Yeshivat Hesder Hakotel, and Hebrew University with degrees in Education and Philosophy. He founded Yeshivat Orot Yehuda H.S. in Efrat where he was Rosh Yeshiva for 20 years. Today he is vice chairman of the Yeshivot V'Ulpanot Bnei Akiva network, and is the Rabbi of Orot Yehuda community. He became close to Rabbi Leo Dee and his family, as Lucy z"l was a teacher in his high school, and Leo davens regularly on Shabbat in Rabbi Kimche's community, attending all his derashot and Shiurim. Rabbi Kimche was very involved in the Shiva and continues to be close to the family as they demonstrate immense reslience in the face of the tragedy.
