Rabbi Sholom Klass (1916–2000) was the co-founder, publisher and editor of The Jewish Press, a large Jewish circulation newspaper. He also authored Tales from our Gaonim[1] and the halachic work Responsa of Modern Judaism (3 volumes). Rabbi Klass received smicha (rabbinical ordination) from Yeshiva Torah Vodaas.[2] Prior to starting The Jewish Press, he was a co-publisher of The Brooklyn Daily (now defunct).[3]
His daughter's "Dear Dad", written for his ninth yahrtzeit, contains examples of one of Rabbi Klass' major accomplishments: the popularization of the use of a dash in writing G-d's name, in English, as the normative form by Orthodox Jews.[4][original research?]
Although Rabbi Klass turned over his halachic Questions & Answers column to his nephew Rabbi Yaakov Klass well before his death, one way in which the column affected worldwide Jewry was as the inspiration of the acronym AYLOR - Ask Your Local Orthodox Rabbi.[5][6] Some have attempted to change AYLOR by having "O" stand for "Ordained.".[7]
Rabbi Klass' point was that information in his column was meant to educate, not to provide an absolute ruling.[citation needed]
