New York—Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Rabbinical Theological Seminary (RIETS) and RIETS Rabbinic Alumni announced that they will be hosting a tribute ceremony for all audiences to mark the 20th yahrtzeit of YU Rosh Yeshiva Rabbi Dovid Lifshitz,zt”l, on Sunday, June 16 at Yeshiva University’s Wilf Campus in Washington Heights.  
The program will run from 9:00 AM – 11:30 AM and will include reflections from Rabbi Binyamin Yudin, Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, and other former students of Rabbi Lifshitz.
“From his early years as the Chief Rabbi of Suvalk to his lengthy career as Rosh Yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary at Yeshiva University, Rabbi Lifshitz was known as a brilliant Talmudic scholar and leader of the Torah community,” said Rabbi Yona Reiss, Dean of RIETS. 
Following Rabbi Lifshitz’s tenure at Yeshiva University, his discourses on Jewish tradition, knowledge and discipline were compiled and published by his students under the title Tehillah Le Dovid. His Talmudic teachings were also published as Shiurei HaRav Dovid Lifshitz. 
The program will take place in the Harry Fishel Beit Midrash of Zysman Hall (2540 Amsterdam Avenue) and will conclude with the recitation of tehillim.
