Aryeh Leib Malin

1906 CE–1962 CE · Modern · Bialystok

Rabbi Aryeh Leib Malin (1906–1962) was a Talmudist and teacher in the Lithuanian yeshiva tradition. Born near Białystok to Avraham Moshe Malin, a rabbinical-court judge, he studied at a succession of noted study halls—Grodno under Shimon Shkop, Baranovichi under Elchonon Wasserman, and Kamenets under Baruch Ber Lebowitz—before joining the Mir yeshiva, where he became a close student of the mussar teacher Yeruchom Levovitz and helped prepare the second volume of Daas Chochma U'Mussar. He also grew close to the Brisker Rav. When the Mir left wartime Europe in 1941, Malin served on the committee that organized its passage to Kobe, Japan, and then Shanghai. After the war he settled in Brooklyn, where he founded Beth Hatalmud to carry forward the legacy of the Volozhin, Slabodka, and Mir yeshivas. His Talmudic novellae appeared posthumously as Chidushei Rebbi Aryeh Leib.

About Bialystok

Bialystok was a major Lithuanian-Polish Jewish center on the seam between Litvish and Hasidic worlds. R. Chaim Halberstam (Sanz dynasty) and R. Chaim Soloveitchik both had students teaching here. The city was 70% Jewish in 1900 (41,000 Jews); the community was annihilated in the Bialystok Ghetto uprising of August 1943.
