Nachum Partzovitz
1923 CE–1986 CE · Modern · Trakai
Rabbi Nachum Partzovitz (1923-1986) was born in Trakai, then in Poland, a son of the town's rabbi, Aryeh Tzvi Partzovitz. As a boy he studied at the yeshiva in Baranovich under Elchonon Wasserman, continued under Boruch Ber Leibowitz, and around the age of fifteen entered the Mir Yeshiva. When war came he shared the yeshiva's flight eastward to Kobe and Shanghai, learning there alongside its acting head, Chaim Leib Shmuelevitz. After a brief postwar stay in Toronto he moved to Jerusalem, joining the Mir as it re-established itself in the city, and married Shmuelevitz's daughter Ettel. On his father-in-law's death in 1979 he became the yeshiva's principal rosh yeshiva, though illness soon curtailed his teaching. His analytic lectures, closely attentive to the precise wording of the Talmud, were later gathered and printed as Chiddushei Reb Nochum.
