Back in the 1980’s R’ Popack taught in HAFTR in Lawrence, NY. He taught us 6th Grade girls Gemara, Brachot Perek Dalet. It gave us a foundation of appreciation and understanding of Torah She’Be’Al Peh that lasted a lifetime, and was passed on to our own children and grandchildren
Rabbi Popack was my teacher at HILI/HAFTAR in 5th and 6th grade. I remember him as a teacher who radiated warmth and wisdom.
