*Note: Rabbi Hanan Balk presented the eulogies due to the loss of Rabbi Ira Ebbin’s father just days before the convention, who serves as the regular maspid.  Due to the short amount of time that was given, Rabbi Balk, could not double check every item he was told.  He wanted to specifically correct the following: 1) Rabbi Yerachmiel Carmy The story told about the Hazon Ish learning in his home throughout the night when he was newly married needs correcting.  The Hazon Ish learned in his dormitory room, not in his home, and this occurred before he was married.  2) Rabbi Solomon Weinberger’s synagogue was not the only Orthodox shul in Passaic at the time of his arrival—there were a few others as well. We apologize for the errors.
