Rabbi Dovid Refson studied under Rav Elyah Lopian, zt”l, in the yeshiva in Kfar Chassidim. After moving to Yerushalayim he continued to seek spiritual inspiration by attending classes given by the great rabbis of the time. In 1970 Rabbi Refson was among the founders of Neve Yerushalayim College for Women, which to date has educated over thirty-five thousand Jewish women. His decades of classes, lessons, and individual counsel within the school, its affiliates, and in forums around the world, derive from his constantly contemplating the messages heard from his mentors.
