In his memoirs, the Rebbe Rayatz described his character:
The examiner Rabbi Moshe Binyamin. Melamed Dardaki, a man of about forty, God-fearing and knowledgeable in legends and moral books. He loves to speak in the holy language in the style of the Bible, mixed with the style of the Gemara, but speaks in a clear language and with great speed."
Previous owner stamps Rabbi Eliyahu Simpson.
Rav Simpson learned in Tomchei Temimim in the town of Lubavitch, Russia for 15 years and was among the prominent “chozrim” of the Rebbe Rashab (d.1920). The Rav was among the first Chabad Chassidim to arrive in America and served as Rav of Congregation Tzemach Tzedek in Brooklyn for over 50 years.
