A great-grandson of Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l,
Rabbi Kaufman is a talmid chacham of world renown stature, who is responsible
for the publishing of the most recent volume of Igros Moshe, as well as
numerous volumes of the Dibros Moshe. He has also served as the chief editor
for the four volumes of Mesores Moshe- a compilation of Rav Moshe Feinstein’s
oral pesakim recorded by close talmidim.
An alumnus of the class of 1997, Rabbi Kaufman’s years of
shteiging at Toras Moshe were a catalyst to his subsequent achievements, and
today he serves as a prominent posek in Chicago, where his sensitivity, keen
insight, and clarity on halachic issues has made him the address for hundreds
of Chicagoans who approach him for guidance. Included among them are business
owners and entrepreneurs who have made him their halachic go-to for all
business dilemmas. He has also recently assumed the position of Rav of Beis
Hakeneses D’Chicago, an upstart minyan in the Peterson Park section of Chicago.
Rabbi Kaufman’s razor-sharp ability to analyze sugyos
b’iyun, exploring the views of the rishonim, right through to their practical
application in halacha, enables him to provide guidance and piskei halacha
without ambiguity. A stellar talmid of Toras Moshe, Rabbi Kaufman’s development
and abilities emerged from the mehalach of the Yeshiva, bolstered by the derech
of his eminent great-grandfather, Rav Moshe Feinstein zt”l.
To quote Rabbi Kaufman: “The greatest pleasure is to learn a
sugyah beiyun and reach a clarity that leads to halacha l’ma’aseh, which is the
precise derech that we followed in Yeshiva”
