Leadership

When the Rosh Yeshiva (head) Rabbi A. SH. Stern became ill, the yeshiva relocated to London. A new Yeshiva named Or Torah was opened in Hitchin by his brother Y. M. Stern, who then claimed to be a partner also in the leadership of Toras Chessed.

When Rabbi A. SH. Stern died, there was a Din Torah re the leadership of the Toras Chessed yeshiva, between current Rosh Yeshiva, Chaim Babad and the children of A. SH. Stern: leadership was granted to Chaim Babad.

There was a concurrent Din Torah re control of the land in Hitchin; this between Chaim Babad, Y. M. Stern and the children of A. SH. Stern. Y. M. Stern claimed that he and B. Weisman were partners with Rabbi A. SH. Stern; therefore following the latter's relocation to London, Y.M. Stern and Weismann remained the only trustees on Toras Chesed and its properties. The Din Torah did not accept Y. M. Stern's version and declared that A. SH. Stern had been the only trustee; a compromise was then reached re shares in the land itself.
