Rabbi Reuven Feinstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Staten Island and one of the Gedolei Hador, looks back on his childhood growing up in the Bronx, just blocks from Yankee Stadium - where he was beaten for wearing a yarmulke and learned early what it meant to live with emunah and dignity. In this raw and moving conversation, he shares memories of his father, Rabbi Moshe Feinstein, the Gadol Hador, describing a home with no ga’avah, no pretense - just Torah, humility, and love. He speaks about antisemitism in 1940s America, the lessons of parenting, leadership, and humility, and how his father’s approach to Torah learning and chesed shaped generations. From stories of the Shabbos table, to his views on mental health, modern challenges, and faith under pressure, this interview is a living portrait of Torah greatness, Jewish resilience, and quiet strength in a world that often forgets both.
