December 25, 2022 – The Rabbinical Council of America mourns the passing of Rav Chaim Druckman, z”l, a prominent Torah scholar, educator, and leader in the Religious Zionist world. Rav Druckman inspired generations of students as a Rosh Yeshiva and scholar, and generations of disciples as a leader in pioneering efforts to settle and develop the Land of Israel and as the elder statesman of Bnei Akiva, the Religious Zionist youth movement.
“Rav Druckman presided over and influenced the spectacular expansion of Religious Zionist Torah learning by virtue of his personal warmth, passion and erudition,” said Rabbi Binyamin Blau, RCA President. “The Religious Zionist world has lost an important leader and scholar.”
