Rav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik - The Brisker Rav: The Influential Leader of Brisk Yeshiva Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik, born to Chaim Soloveitchik in Valozhyn, was a prominent rabbi and leader of Judaic studies in his region. On his mother's side, he was the grandson of Refael Shapiro, a respected rosh yeshiva of the Volozhin yeshiva. After the czarist government closed the Volozhin yeshiva, Soloveitchik and his family moved to the Jewish community of Brisk, where he succeeded his father as a rabbi and continued his teachings. Later, after fleeing the Holocaust and relocating to Mandatory Palestine, he re-established the Brisk yeshiva in Jerusalem, where he continued to educate students, developing the Brisker method of studying the Talmud.
