Aderet
1843 CE–1905 CE · Acharonim · Pikeliai
Eliyahu David Rabinowitz-Teomim (1843-1905), remembered by the acronym Aderet, was a Lithuanian rabbinic scholar and communal leader. Born in Pikeliai (Pikeln), he lost his mother in early childhood and was raised, together with his twin brother Tzvi Yehudah, by their father, Binyamin. Around 1875 he was appointed rabbi of Ponevezh (Panevezys), a post he held for roughly eighteen years before moving in 1893 to lead the community of Mir, home to its renowned yeshiva. In 1901 he settled in Jerusalem, where he helped guide the Ashkenazi community alongside Shmuel Salant. His prolific writings included glosses on the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds, several volumes of responsa, and the autobiographical Seder Eliyahu. His daughter married Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, who later dedicated a work to his memory.
