Historian Marc B. Shapiro writes:
The following page comes from R. Yehiel Michel Stern’s Ha-Torah ha-Temimah on the Book of Joshua, p. 84 no. 3, which appeared in 2009.
As you can see, Stern’s comment is lifted word for word from Schwartz’s article. I am not sure what to make of this. That is, are dealing with a simple plagiarism? Perhaps one of the readers has some insight. (Stern may be the world’s most prolific writer of Torah publications.)
From Mishpacha magazine: “Rav Stern, who has served as the rav of the Ezras Torah neighborhood in Jerusalem for over forty years, is renowned in the Torah world for the seforim he has authored on Torah and halachah. To date, he has published eighty-four such seforim! His works are clear and elucidating, and he brings vivid examples of the cases he describes.”
