Rabbi Nachum Partzovitz
1923 CE–1986 CE · Modern · Jerusalem
A leading rosh yeshiva in the postwar Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz was known for his penetrating analytical shiurim in Talmud. Having survived the Mir Yeshiva’s wartime exile through Kobe and Shanghai and later joining its reestablishment in Jerusalem, he eventually assumed a central leadership role in the yeshiva after the passing of Rabbi Chaim Shmuelevitz. His shiurim were later published as Chiddushei Rabbi Nochum and helped shape the derech halimud of the Mir and the broader yeshiva world.
