The Knesset Beit Yitzhak Yeshiva was founded in 1897 in Slabodka, a suburb of Kaunas, by Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Rabinowitz, who did so in memory of his father, Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spector of Kaunas. In 1904, Rabbi Baruch Dov Leibowitz was appointed chair of the yeshiva. In 1926, the yeshiva moved to Kamnitz to move away from the city. In 1937, a new building was erected for the yeshiva, erected by Mr. Gershon Gallin, a native of Kamnitz who lived in the United States. The booklet before us was published a few years earlier and was intended to bring donors to the new building.
