The Jewish people in general, and OU/NCSY in particular, mourn the loss this week of a giant of a man, and a dear personal friend, Rav Nachman Bulman, zt"l. Rav Bulman blazed many trails in his life, including his rabbinical service to far-flung communities; his numerous contributions to kiruv, most notably through NCSY and Ohr Sameach; and his contributions to Jewish thought and Torah scholarship. He was an original thinker and writer of the highest order. I was personally privileged to know him in many capacities over the years, and especially am appreciative of the kindness and friendship he expressed to me during my sabbatical stay in Israel two years ago. His personal warmth was matched by his powerful intellect, and he made a mark on all who knew him. His demise is a tragic loss for our already orphaned generation. May his memory be blessed.
- Rabbi Dr. Tzvi Hersh Weinreb, Executive Vice President of the OU
