From
Matzav.com- “Larger Than Life,” “a Legend,” and “The Real Thing” are just some of the many ways Rav Trenk is described by talmidim and admirers worldwide. Rav Trenk was an energetic, inspiring, superhuman who shaped so many lives and saved so many souls in ways that one cannot begin to fathom. Many lovingly called him “rebbi,” and the enormous adoration everyone shared for him is impossible to put into words.
If you ever witnessed Rav Trenk enthusiastically interact with people, you became a changed person. He treated every person with the same boundless love and affection, a love born out of his association with his rebbi, the Kapytschnitzer Rebbe zt”l, who influenced him in his youth.
Rav Trenk was the original trailblazer in chinuch. Decades before there was an Our Place, Minyan Shelanu, The Living Room, Waterbury Yeshiva, and other such mosdos, Rav Dovid was out on the front lines, recruiting and inspiring boys, often those shunned or disappointed by others or society.
He demonstrated unconditional support, encouragement, understanding and love that created a unique connection and bond with Hashem, his Torah and Klal Yisroel. That was “the Trenk method.”
Rav Dovid looked for the talent and kishronos in each child and found a way to build up their self-esteem.
Some would say that Rav Trenk was the greatest flight instructor in history, for he made everyone believe that they could fly. read more at
