    What i was pointing out is the order of words that you posted. Of course he was a big Talmud chacham and kashrus expert. I'm saying that you should change the title of this article.

    It looks like you are saying suddenly kashrus expert.

  9. Having learned in a shiur he gave in Silver Spring nearly 40 years ago, Rabbi Blech was foremost a talmidchochom and knew gantz shas, a most unusual and rarely seen accomplishment for someone that young at the time. Torah achievement has suffered a tremendous loss with this petirah.

  12. I think he was about 68. He probably took a lot of flak for being independent minded and accepting places which were 100% kosher but did not have a "drummer ambiance" like 7-11 in Monsey. Frankly he probably saved all the guys who needed a hangout from eating treif.
