TheBrisker Rav accepted him as one of the fifteen original talmidimin his yeshiva. Rav Aharon Kotler invited him to be his talmidin Lakewood.But the yeshiva that would ultimately define the still "out-of-town" bachur was Bais Hatalmud. There, Chaim studied under RebLeib Malin and became the talmid muvhak of Reb Chaim Visoker,who primed him in teaching Torah and understanding people.After his marriage, Chaim set out to fulfill his dream of spreadingTorah in America.Rav Chaim Fasman did the unthinkable - he left the shelteredconfines of the yeshiva world for Los Angeles, California, whichhe envisioned as a city thirsty for Torah.
