Your recent excellent piece on the book “The Rabbi of Buchenwald: The Life and Times of Rabbi Herschel Schachter” (“YU Hosts Book Launch of ‘The Rabbi of Buchenwald’ May 6, 2021) had one factual error. Rabbi Schachter was the rabbi of the Mosholu Jewish Center, not the Young Israel of Mosholu Parkway, which was the province of Rabbi Zevulon Charlop, shlita. My wife’s family members were involved with both shuls. Both rabbis had the habit of inviting young people for Shabbat meals, and both made many more frum Jews.
