 Though Rabbi Wasserman was initially hesitant to leave his Boston position, Mr. Beren convinced him, along with fellow Beth Medrash Govoha talmid Rabbi Chaim Kahn, to come to Denver.When Rabbis Wasserman and Kahn realized how much time and energy went into recruiting and fundraising, they felt that the importance of having a full-time presence in the "bais medrash" was crucial enough to warrant the inclusion of another yeshiva head.Rabbi Wasserman's childhood friend, Rabbi Yisroel Meir Kagan, who was giving "chaburas" in BMG, was recruited for the job.
