Rabbi Menachem Mendel Sacks (1898-1974) was the son-in-law of the Chafetz Haim and head of the Radin yeshiva. The Chafetz Haim wrote “I merited marrying my daughter off to this talmid chacham.” In Radin he shut himself away in his father-in-law’s attic for years studying torah. He succeeded Rabbi Naftali Trop as rosh yeshiva, and then served in the yeshiva of Rabbi Yitzhak Elchanan. He was a leader of the Va’ad Hatzalah in New York and a member of the Council of Torah Sages in the US.
