| | |  Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Aharon Kotler - World war II and move to the USAWhen the communists took over, the yeshivah moved to Kletzk in Poland. With the outbreak of World War II, Rabbi Kotler and the yeshivah relocated to Vilna, then the major refuge of most yeshivoth from the occupied areas. Rabbi Kotler went to the United States via Siberia, but many of his students did not survive the war. He was brought to America by the Vaad Hatzolah rescue organization and guided it during the Holocaust.
In 1943, Rabbi Kotler founded Bais Medrash Gevoha in Lakewood, New Jersey. Today, this institution i ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Mir yeshiva - Escape across Siberia by rail As the Nazi armies continued to push to the east, the leaders of the yeshiva eventually fled across Siberia by train, going so far east as to set up two different academies in the Far East, first in Kobe, Japan, and eventually in (Japanese-controlled) Shanghai, China, from 1941 until the end of World War II. The heroism of the Japanese consul-general in Lithuania, Chiune Sugihara, who issued several thousand travel visas to Jews, permitting the ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Yitzchok Hutner - In the United States He was able to construct an intense curriculum and an environment that produced young Talmudic scholars who were viewed as being in the same league as their compatriots in Eastern Europe. In 1940, he established a post-high school yeshiva, Bet Midrash, with hundreds of students.
He viewed secular studies as essential in learning a profession for people to support themselves by eventually going to college and becoming professionals. Together with the dean of the Yeshiva Torah Vodaath, Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz a charter to set up ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Yitzchok Hutner - Travels and marriage Rabbi Hutner spent some years as a wandering scholar. He spent time in university in Berlin, studying philosophy, but not for the purpose of obtaining a degree. He spent time familiarizing himself with the intellectual milieu of Germany. He befriended two other future rabbinical leaders studying secular philosophy in Berlin: Joseph Soloveitchik, who was to become rosh yeshiva at Yeshiva University in New York City, and Menachem Schneerson who would become rebbe of Chabad Lubavitch in Brooklyn. The three of them were to retain close and cordi ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Yitzchok Hutner - Early years Having obtained a deep grounding in Talmud, Hutner was sent to join an extension of the Slabodka yeshiva in Hebron. He studied there until 1929, narrowly escaping the Hebron Massacre of 1929 because he was away for the weekend. It was during his stay in Palestine that he became a disciple of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, the first chief rabbi of Palestine. The philosophical and mystical mind-set of both men, made them kindred spirits. Like Rabbi Kook, the young Rabbi Hutner eventually developed a warm welcoming posture towards non-religious Jews ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Yitzchok Hutner - Methodology His methodology and style was controversial, although intellectually he placed great emphasis on penetrating Talmudic study and analysis, emotionally he veered towards the hasidic-style, more than his Lithuanian-style colleagues reared as mitnagdim could tolerate. Ironically, Rabbi Hutner became a fierce critic of Lubavitch and the idolization of Rabbi Menachem Schneerson. Yet both men referred to their discourses as maamarim. He also forbade his students from attending any lectures given by Rabbi Joseph Soloveitchik at the sam ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Yitzchok Hutner - Mentor to others He was the mentor of some controversial figures in modern Jewish outreach to non-Orthodox Jews. Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach who became the "Singing Rabbi" was one such student. Another was Rabbi David Weiss Halivni, who became a prominent scholar at the Jewish Theological Seminary of Conservative Judaism.

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Nosson Zvi Finkel - Land of Israel Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel staged one of the most dramatic moves in the history of yeshivot. In the 1920s he decided to create a branch of his yeshiva in the British Mandate of Palestine, together with the dean Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein, setting it up in Hebron and sending waves of hand-picked students there, culminating with his own permanent aliyah, "going up", to the Holy Land two years before his passing.
In Palestine he founded his own institution in the town of Hebron called Knesses Yisroel - "Gathering of Israel", which moved to Jerusalem following the massacre of Jews during the 1929 Hebron mass ...

| | | | Nosson Zvi Finkel: Encyclopedia II - Nosson Zvi Finkel - Opposition His main opponents in the "yeshiva world" were the members and alumni of the Brisk yeshiva of Lithuania headed by the Soloveitchik family, who, unlike their kin Joseph Soloveitchik who eventually moved to the United Sates, were adamantly opposed to any changes in what they believed to be the time-tested ways of yeshiva education. To this day, their yeshivot, based mainly in Jerusalem today, do not teach mussar ethics as some sort of spe ...
