  1. Is it the same Segal who said that he hadn't seen a family who undertook to learn Chafetz Chaim daily and did not see yeshios?

  3. Yeedle - I never heard that particular story but the one who was very involved in getting people to study Shemirat Halashon was R. Yehuda Zev Segal.

  6. Louis Jacobs learned chavrusa with R. Yudel Segal after he got married. The chavrusa was arranged by R. Moshe Yitzchok. I heard this direct from Jacobs.
