Historique
He was born in Horodok, present-day Belarus, in 1912.
He studied at the Baranovich Yeshiva, and then at the Mir Yeshiva. After the Nazi invasion of Poland, the Mir Yeshiva moved to Vilnius, Lithuania, before escaping to Kobe, Japan, and then onward to Shanghai in 1940, with the help of the Japanese consul in Kaunas, Chiune Sugihara. He then moved to the U.S.A., where he married the daughter of the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Chofetz Chaim, in Baltimore. In 1948, he moved to Montreal, after being appointed rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva Merkaz HaTorah in the city. He led the yeshiva for twenty-four years, before founding Beis Medrash Merkaz HaTalmud, which he also led until moving to Jerusalem in 2006. He passed away in Jerusalem in 2011.
