Rabbi Baruch Dov Povarsky, often referred to as Rabbi Berel Povarsky, is the rosh yeshiva of the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, Israel, alongside Rabbi Gershon Edelstein.[1]

Biography[]

Rabbi Povarsky was born in 1931[2] in Kletsk,[3] the son of Rabbi Dovid and Chaya Tzipporah Povarsky.[4] When he was three months old, the family moved to Baranovich where R' Dovid became a teacher in Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich[3] and joined its affiliated kollel. During this period, Baruch Dov learned in the city's local cheder.[5] In 1941, escaping the Nazi-Soviet threats in Baranovich (then part of Poland), the Povarskys escaped to Vilnius, Lithuania together with thousands of other refugees.[5] From their, they emigated to Mandatory Palestine, where R' Dovid was soon appointed rosh yeshiva of the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak.[6] In Palestine, he learned in Yeshivas Ohr HaTalmud and Yeshivas Achei Temimim, and in 1943, for a short stint in the Chevron Yeshiva. However, shortly after becoming rosh yeshiva in Ponevezh, R' Dovid brought his son to learn there.[3]

Rabbi Baruch Dov Povarsky began teaching in the Ponevezh Yeshiva in 1953,[3] and after the death of the rosh yeshiva, Rabbi Elazar Menachem Man Shach, he became rosh yeshiva.
