“The quiet, unprententious individual before you right now is a walking legend in our time. Reb Meir has in his own deliberate, self-effacing, and deeply sincere way affected the lives and the Judaic content of tens of thousands of young Jews throughout the world.” – Rabbi Michel Twerski

“There was never any let up in Rabbi Schuster’s burning intensity. Nothing could be left for tomorrow. “We have to do this right away,” was one of his most repeated statements. The needs of Klal Yisrael were urgent and demanded immediate attention. And even this was not enough. After more than one Yom Kippur, Reb Meir said to me that he had done teshuva for not having done enough and that this year he was determined to do more. And then he would look at me with those penetrating eyes as if to say, “Nu, what are we waiting for. Let’s get cracking.” – Rabbi Avraham Edelstein

“Why aren’t you learning?” Reb Meir once asked me. Being the good natured wise-guy that I was, I answered: “if you can beat me in arm wrestling…I’ll sit down and learn. He looked at me – as if to say “is that all I have to do?” He sat down and immediately beat me. I was more stunned than embarrassed.” – Reuven Eliyahu

‘The schools, Yeshivot, and communities of Israel, the United States and beyond abound with literally thousands of his “discoveries,” and our nation as well as untold numbers of families, have been renewed and revitalized by his efforts. Frankly, I am awed by his accomplishments, and I openly confess that I envy his portion in eternity.” – Rabbi Michel Twerski

I have had the great privilege of working with HaRav Meir Schuster shlita (fondly known as Reb Meir) for the past 35 years. As a rebbe in Yeshivat Ohr Somayah, I watched Reb Meir almost single handedly create the teshuva movement in Eretz Yisroel by bringing in to the few fledgling yeshivot, thousands of young men and women. He accomplished this without fanfare and with great humility, yet his efforts were fired with an extraordinary passion emanating from a huge ahavas yisroel” – Rabbi Yirmiyahu Abramov
