 <\/p>\n

The future for Orthodoxy Jewry looked bleak when Moses Feuerstein began his twelve-year tenure in 1954 as president of the Orthodox Union. World Jewry was still reeling from the Holocaust. The non-Orthodox movements were strong and growing. The Orthodox day school movement was in its infancy, struggling to find students. On shaky ground, Orthodox Judaism questioned whether it would ever flourish in America.<\/p>\n

Undeterred and equipped with the belief that Torah must pervade all areas of life, Feuerstein spearheaded the planting of seeds that were ultimately responsible for the vibrant American Orthodox Jewish life we witness today. As the late OU Honorary Past President Rabbi Joseph Karasick wrote upon Feuerstein\u2019s passing: \u201cBy great fortune, Moses I. Feuerstein appeared on the scene and, knowingly or not, created a tsunami.\u201d<\/p>\n

Under Feuerstein\u2019s leadership, the OU founded NCSY, a youth movement that changed and continues to change the face of the American Orthodox landscape. Recalling the opposition Feuerstein and other lay leaders in support of NCSY faced, Bernard Lander, who went on to establish Touro College, wrote:<\/p>\n

At the [OU] convention, the New York City delegates were skeptical [about the resolution to create such a movement], but the delegates from out of town were outspoken and enthusiastic. One by one they rose to tell of how badly they needed such an effort, of how Orthodox Judaism would not survive in their communities if it did not happen.<\/em><\/p>\n

The OU\u2019s new President Moses Feuerstein weighed in, as we knew he would, with his strong support, reminding the cynics that his father Samuel had faced similar criticism when he started Torah Umesorah a decade earlier.<\/em><\/p>\n

By establishing this much-needed youth group, Feuerstein and other supporters succeeded in bringing about a revolution, transforming the lives of thousands of teens as well as entire families and communities. Similarly, during his tenure, he laid the groundwork for OU Kosher, enabling it to become the largest and most respected kosher certification agency, today certifying over one million products in more than 13,000 plants worldwide.<\/p>\n

Through Feuerstein\u2019s vision and efforts, Orthodox Jews moved to the forefront of Jewish communal life, among other arenas. Statesman-like, Feuerstein led by example. <\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Feuerstein strongly believed that rather than isolate themselves from the rest of the world, Orthodox Jews should reach out and build bridges and liaisons with other community organizations and leaders. His efforts resulted in the OU becoming active with other communal organizations such as the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, the National Jewish Community Relations Advisory Council (now called the Jewish Council for Political Affairs), the Federation of Jewish Philanthropies (which later merged and became UJA-Federation of New York), local Jewish community councils and so many others.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnder his watch, the OU gained\u00a0 purpose and meaning, and Orthodoxy in America became a viable possibility when it hadn\u2019t been for so many years,\u201d Zev Eleff, an expert in the field of American Jewish history, wrote when Feuerstein passed away in 2009 at the age of ninety-three.<\/p>\n

Through Feuerstein\u2019s vision and efforts, Orthodox Jews moved to the forefront of Jewish communal life, among other arenas. Statesman-like, Feuerstein led by example, always publicly wearing his yarmulke at a time when this practice was uncommon.<\/p>\n

Feuerstein was also able to relate to the diverse segments of the Orthodox world. As OU Honorary Vice President Michael Wimpfheimer recalls, \u201cHe was close to many of the gedolim<\/em> at that time. He had a very strong connection to Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik and he had close relationships with Rabbi Aharon Kotler and Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky. He was also active in Torah Umesorah. He had close friends in all circles of the Jewish world.\u201d During Feuerstein\u2019s administration, the Rav was appointed as the OU\u2019s official posek, <\/em>providing halachic guidance to OU leadership on a range of complex social and political issues.<\/p>\n

In a tribute to Feuerstein, Rabbi Karasick recalled that \u201cwhen the Roman Catholic Church\u2019s Vatican II reversed longstanding anti-Semitic teachings, there was a big push for interfaith dialogue. But the Rav felt strongly that discussion between Christians and Jews should be limited to nonreligious subjects, and Moe and the Orthodox Union followed the Rav\u2019s directive.\u201d<\/p>\n

Feuerstein\u2019s leadership training commenced as a child in Boston. He learned firsthand about klal<\/em> work from his father Samuel, a textile industrialist who served in a number of Jewish leadership positions and was the founder of Torah Umesorah.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

His commitments on the national Jewish scene notwithstanding, Feuerstein was intimately involved with Orthodox Jewish Boston. He and his wife Shirley, together with the extended Feuerstein family, were the backbones of the Young Israel of Brookline and supporters of the Rav in building Boston\u2019s Maimonides School. Many university students passing through Boston during that time period were welcomed into the Feuerstein home for Shabbat and Jewish holidays and Feuerstein made himself available to speak with those who sought his advice.<\/p>\n

\u201c[The Feuerstein home] was a home away from home for hundreds upon hundreds of college students who attended the renowned academic institutions in the area,\u201d wrote OU Honorary Past President Rabbi Julius Berman.<\/p>\n

A graduate student in Boston in the early 1970s, Chaya Levine remembers exploring the idea of launching a chesed<\/em> project on college campuses. \u201cThere was no doubt in my mind that Moses Feuerstein would be the best person to discuss the details of what we were trying to do,\u201d she says. \u201cHis understanding of the Jewish world, his focus and attention to detail remain an inspiration to me today.\u201d<\/p>\n

After being re-elected to his third term as OU president, he traveled throughout North America trying to fortify Orthodox communities, large and small, strengthen mechitzot<\/em> in Orthodox shuls, and engage in dialogue with the spectrum of Orthodox Jewry in order to inspire and bolster their growth.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe viewed himself as a spokesman for Yiddishkeit,<\/em>\u201d says Wimpfheimer.<\/p>\n
