1885 CE–1974 CE · Acharonim · Jerusalem
A leading mussar personality of the twentieth century, Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein served as mashgiach in the Mir Yeshiva through its wartime exile and later in the yeshivos of Lomza, Mir in Yerushalayim, and Ponevezh. His shmuessen and guidance, partially preserved in collections such as Mimizrach Shemesh, shaped the inner life and outlook of several generations of bnei yeshiva. He became a central figure in transmitting the legacy of Kelm mussar to the Lithuanian-style yeshiva world in Europe, Shanghai, and Israel.
