Rabbi Daniel Rosenthal passed away on Tu bi’Shvat 5784. You may not know who he was, but all the Torah I teach is thanks to him. If you've learned from me, I implore you to read or listen to this.
Thank you for writing this. I am also the beneficiary of a changed life because of YOH/NYHS and had few direct interactions with Rabbi Rosenthal זכר צדיק לברכה. My main memory of him is of someone who was נעים הליכות as a person. Kind, gentle and pleasant, which speaks to a highly evolved character. And the fact that this pleasantness is perfectly integrated into passion, determination, and enthusiasm about ideas and education shows that his patience does not come from meekness of any kind but from a true goodness of character.
