Greer joined as a law apprentice under Eliyahu Lankin. This man was also the captain of the Altalena, the cargo ship that was sunk as per orders while Yitzchak Rabin gave orders to kill all the people who sought to shore the Atlanta crew to safety. To be ordained as Rabbi, Daniel Greer and his wife studied from Yehoshua Neuwirth and Nehama Leibowitz respective. Dov, their first son was also born in Israel.
New Haven and the Day School
