Daniel Greer: his family, Battles and his migration to New Haven

Daniel: His wife and life
Daniel Greer has had a very turbulent professional life since he graduated from the Princeton University. Even though he was engrossed in discharging his responsibilities as a prominent and moving figure associated with the Save Soviet Jewry, Daniel did not miss out his personal obligations. In 1971 he got married to Sarah Bergman who was a day school teacher. Soon after Greer’s marriage, in 1972 he stood against Richard Gottfried as a nominee for the state assembly in one of the Manhattan Districts on the upper west side. However, Greer was utterly upset with the welfare condition of the city.
The shift to Israel
In 1973, Greer and Sarah Greer shifted to Israel with work permits and had made up plans for aliyah. When they arrived in Israel it was the time of the Yom Kippur War. 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
Soon after the Greers’ moved to New Haven, Daniel Greer felt there were not enough religious day schools in New Haven. So they decided and set up an Orthodox day school for the Jewish people. Over the years, the Greers’ expanded this day school into a full Yeshiva with an elementary school and a high school together for boys and girls school.
