A Jew in America must possess the devotion to learning of the Lithuanian scholars, the warmth and enthusiasm of the Chassidishe world, the commitment to meticulous mitzvah observance of the Hungarian Jews, the aristocratic worldly nobility of the Torah Im Derech Eretz world of Rav Shimshon Raphael Hirsch, and the ethical character traits of the Baalei Mussar (masters of introspection and self-perfection) all wrapped into one selfless total servant of Hashem.
HaRav Shraga Feivel Mendelovitz
