Shmuel Rozovsky (1913–1979) was a rabbi, best known as a Talmudic lecturer at the Ponevezh Yeshiva located in Bnei Brak, Israel, and was counted amongst the great rabbis of his generation. He was known worldwide for his clarity in explaining complex Talmud topics.
Rav Shmuel was born in Grodno, where his father Rav Michel Dovid Rozovsky served as the chief rabbi.His mother Sara Pearl was the daughter of Avraham Gelburd (the previous rabbi of Grodno. He studied at the local Sha’ar Hatorah Yeshivah and became a prized student of Rav Shimon Shkop. Rav Shmuel also studied with several older students in Grodno, and one of the earliest and most influential was Rav Yisroel Zev Gustman. Rav Gustman recalled how Rav Michel Dovid Rozovsky begged him to learn with his prodigious young son. He soon realized that this boy was special way beyond his years. “By the time he reached bar mitzvah, there was no one like him in the yeshivah. We would learn 17–18 hours a day. He knew every single one of Rav Shimon’s shiurim — literally all of his shiurim.”
In 1935, after the death of his father, Rozovsky had to flee to Eretz Yisrael to escape being drafted into the Russian army. There he studied in the Lomzha Yeshivah in Petach Tikvah. In Eretz Yisrael, Rozovsky married the daughter of Tzvi Pesach Frank, Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem. Rozovsky eventually began to lecture in the Lomzha Yeshiva in Petach Tivkva alongside Moshe Shmuel Shapiro and Elazar Menachem Shach.
