Rav Baruch Soloveitchik, a member of the Rabbinical Committee of Degel Hatorah, decided to resign from his position and from all public activity in Yerushalayim.

Rav Boruch, who was appointed by HaGaon Rav Aryeh Leib Shteinman zatzal, made the decision so he could return his focus to his yeshiva and talmidim.

“[The job] came at the expense of my yeshiva, I decided to invest in the yeshiva and leave the public business,” Rav Boruch explained.
