Rabbi Yechiel Michel Rabinowitz was a Talmudist of the Litvish rabbinic milieu of interwar Poland (in what is now Belarus). Born in Slutsk, the son of Mordechai Yonah, he married into the family of R. Avraham Kaplan of Lechovitz and for years supported himself in the timber trade, living first in Lechovitz and later in Baranovich. He is remembered chiefly for Afikei Yam, a two-volume collection of chiddushim on Talmudic and halachic topics; the first volume appeared in Vilna in 1905 and the second in 1935, its preface recalling how the First World War had wiped out his fortune. Having lost his means, he entered the rabbinate, becoming rav of Szczuczyn (Shtutshin) around 1926. He was murdered in the Holocaust in 1941, shot with about fifty of his townsfolk near the village of Topilishky.
