Lecture #03: "Da'at Torah" and Faith in the Sages -

The Orthodox Perception of History in the Wake of the Holocaust

By Rav Tamir Granot

Rabbi Dessler turned down an offer to serve as dayan in Vilna, choosing
instead to join his brother in business.  In 1928, following the death
of his step-mother, he was forced to accompany his father to England for
medical treatment.  He never returned to Lithuania.  In England he took
up a rabbinical position (first in the East End and later in Dalston),
and for a time he was also the private tutor of the children of the
Sassoon family from Bombay.  His wife and daughter joined him in England
three years later

=========================================

Is there any Mesora as to why "Rabbi Dessler turned down an offer to
serve as dayan in Vilna, choosing instead to join his brother in
business" - Did he ever speak or write on the issue?
