Zev Wolf Rabinowitz

Rabbi Zev Wolf Rabinowitz lived in the town of Brisk but relocated several times due to the ravages of World War I. His introduction to his first book, Sha’arei Torat Eretz Yisrael, describes the challenges of that time in detail, including the devastation of losing his home and many Jewish books, but also expresses gratitude that he was able to continue studying Torah and writing during his forced travels. His commentaries on both the Babylonian and Jerusalem Talmuds were published posthumously by his son, Yitzchak, while other biblical and legal works have not been printed.
