Rabbi Moshe Feinstein (1895–1986) was an Orthodox Rabbi and scholar, who was world renowned for his expertise in halakha and was the de facto supreme rabbinic authority for Orthodox Jewry of North America.
Rabbi Feinstein was born, according to the Hebrew calendar, on the 7th day of Adar, 5655 (traditionally the date of birth of the Biblical Moshe) in Uzdan, near Minsk, Belarus, then part of the Russian empire.
Rabbi Feinstein died on the 23 March 1986 (13th of Adar II, 5746 on the Hebrew calendar).
Thus, in one case, Rabbi Feinstein was told that applicable landlord-tenant law prohibited the landlord from evicting a tenant at the end of the lease, even if the landlord wanted to use the property himself.
Similarly, Rabbi Feinstein states that there is even more of a reason to apply dina d'malchusa dina to a corporation than to an individual because of the presence of non-Jewish shareholders.
Although the lease specified a duration, Rabbi Feinstein found that this was not inconsistent with the creditor's having agreed to the secular law.
