The Brisker Rov – R. Yitzchak Ze'ev Soloveitchik (1886-1959), son of R. Chaim HaLevi of Brisk, and grandson of the Beit HaLevi. Already at a young age, still in his father's lifetime, he was considered one of the prominent Torah leaders of the generation. In 1918 (at the age of 31), he succeeded his forefathers as rabbi of Brisk, and with his Torah authority, he governed all religious matters in his city and the entire region. He managed to escape the Holocaust together with some of his children and immigrated to Jerusalem, where he reestablished his yeshiva. His authority was recognized by the entire Torah world in Eretz Israel and abroad.
