Bais Medrash Govoah of Lakewood, NJ, has announced the appointment of Rav Abba Brudny to its hanhalah and its team of mashgichim.
Rav Abba is a son of Rav Shmuel Brudny zt”l, rosh yeshiva of Mirrer Yeshiva in Brooklyn. Three decades ago, Rav Abba succeeded his father as the rov of Agudas Yisroel of Flatbush South, which was later renamed in Rav Shmuel’s memory.
Rav Abba subsequently relocated to Edison, NJ, where he has been marbitz Torah for decades. Rav Abba served for some 25 years as the menahel and a maggid shiur at Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yaakov Yosef of Edison and then became rosh kollel of the Edison Community Kollel.
Rav Abba’s wife, Rebbetzin Cyrel, is a daughter of Rav Nochum Zeldes zt”l, a talmid of Rav Aharon Kotler zt”l in Kletzk who was one of the pillars of Bais Medrash Govoah and served as president of Bais Medrash Govoah, the yeshiva whose hanhalah his son-in-law will now be joining.
Rebbetzin Brudny has served as the principal of the Yeshiva Shaarei Tzion Girls School in Edison since it opened its doors in 1991. With unique devotion, Rebbetzin Brudny has dedicated herself to the success of each of her students, readying them for the next level of their academic careers while enriching them personally and spiritually.
Rav Abba is renowned for his wide-ranging yedios haTorah, his understanding of people, sagacious counsel, compassionate personality, scintillating shiurim and shmuessen, and ability to reach and inspire people from across the spectrum. His appointment at Bais Medrash Govoah will undoubtedly enrich the yeshiva and its talmidim, who will benefit from this outstanding talmid chochom and mashpiah.
