Rav Moshe Feinstein’s Yechidus with the Rebbe
Rav Moshe Feinstein (L) with Rabbi Avram Levine.
Recently the Jewish community commemorated the 25th yahrtzeit of Rav Moshe Feinstein, one of—if not the— most prominent poskim of halacha in the 20th century. He died on the day before Purim in 1986 and was buried on Har Hamenuchot in Jerusalem. His funeral was attended by an estimated 300,000 mourners, the largest in Israel in more than a millennium. Many of his students went on to become well-known rabbis in their own right. The following was shared by his grandson, Rabbi Mordechaim Tendler of Spring Valley:

From the Safer Haminhagim: [Every day from Rosh Chodesh Nissan until the twelfth of the month, usually after Shacharis,] one reads the passage [from Bamidbar 7-8:4] that describes the offering brought on that day by a particular Nasi, or tribal prince, for the dedication of the altar of the Mishkan. [In common parlance, each day's passage itself is often referred to as “the Nasi.”] This daily reading is followed by the prayer which opens with the words yehi ratzon (and which appears in Siddur Torah Or [as well as in Siddur Tehillat HaShem, p. 371]). This prayer is recited even by a Kohen or a Levi [despite its seeming relevance only to tribes other than the Tribe of Levi]. [284]
