Rabbi Nosson Zvi Finkel, zts"l
(March 12, 1943 - November 8, 2011)
Rosh Yeshiva, Yeshivas Mir Yerushalayim
אשרי מי שעמלו בתורה ועושה נחת רוח ליוצרו
New discovery: From the great bowl of treats that is the blogosphere, I have seen the Rosh Yeshiva's old yearbook entry from Chicago. This is touching; his quote is the bold line from the poem, Lady Clara Vere de Vere by Tennyson:
From you blue heavens above us bent,
the gardener Adam and his wife,
smile at the claims of long descent.
Howe'er it be it seems to me,
'tis only noble to be good.
kind hearts are more than coronets,
and simple faith than Norman blood.
