Zalman Sender Kahana-Shapiro
1851 CE–1923 CE · Acharonim · Nisowiz
Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Sender Kahana-Shapiro (1851-1923) was a Lithuanian Torah scholar and yeshiva head, born in Nesvizh, in present-day Belarus, and descended from the family of Rabbi Chaim of Volozhin. He studied at the Volozhin yeshiva and in Brisk under Rabbi Yosef Dov Soloveitchik, the Beis HaLevi, and the latter's son Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik, with whom he learned as a study partner. After living in Kobryn, he became rabbi of Maltsch, where he founded a yeshiva, Anaf Eitz Chaim, modeled on Volozhin. In 1902 he moved the yeshiva to Krynki and led the community there; his students included Rabbi Aharon Kotler and Rabbi Yaakov Kamenetsky. In 1921 he settled in the Shaarei Chesed quarter of Jerusalem, where he died in 1923. His novellae on the Talmudic order of Kodashim appeared posthumously; his son Rabbi Avraham Dov-Ber authored Devar Avraham and served as rabbi of Kovno.
