The Mirrer Yeshiva; One Man’s Journey

Almost everyone has heard of the Mirrer Yeshiva in Poland, and how they wound up in Shanghai. However, there were many students that were not part of the group that went to Shanghai. This website is dedicated to my Grandfather, R’ Pesach Cohen zt’l who traveled from America to learn in the Mir before World War II.
