Rabbi Nochum Partzovitz (he: נחום פרצוביץ) (died November 26, 1986) was a rabbi and Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshivas Mir and is known worldwide for erudite explanations of Talmudic topics. Partzovitz was born in Trakai, Poland to its Chief Rabbi, Rabbi Aryeh Tzvi Partzovitz. Rabbi Aryeh Tzvi was a grandson of the posek of Vilna, Rabbi Shlomo HaKohen and son-in-law to Rabbi Nochum Greenhouse. As a young boy, Partzovitz was reputed to have been so eager to engage in Torah study that he would run to cheder in the morning barefoot because putting on shoes took up too much time.〔(Peninim on the Torah - Parsha Yisro )〕 Rabbi Partzovitz learned from an early age in the Yeshivas at Baranovitch under the leadership of Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman and Rabbi Dovid Rappaport. However, when he reached the age of thirteen, the yeshiva's administration decided that his level of Talmudic study was too advanced for their school, so he was sent to learn under Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz. At the age of fifteen, Rabbi Aryeh Tzvi, an alumnus of Yeshivas Mir, convinced his son to relocate to the Mirrer Yeshiva, where he was warmly welcomed by its Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel. Soon after joining the yeshiva, the Mir Yeshiva entered was exiled to Shanghai to escape the horrors of the Holocaust which annihilated much of European Jewry during World War II. In Shanghai, Reb Nachum continued to learn with tremendous diligence, earning the respect and admiration of the Yeshiva's Mashgiach, Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein, and acting Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Chaim Leib Shmuelevitz. During this time, Reb Nochum—known as Reb Nochom Troker〔(A Brisker Mehalech: Rav Shimon Yosef Meller travels to Brisk )〕—is reputed to have studied daily for twelve hours straight with his colleague Rabbi Shmuel Berenbaum(). He also studied in China with Rabbi Abba Berman.〔("We Moved During Bava Kama" — HaRav Abba Berman zt"l )〕 After briefly immigrating to Toronto, Ontario, Canada, following World War II, Partzovitz moved to Israel and joined the newly established Mir yeshiva of Jerusalem. There he married Ettel, the daughter of Shmuelevitz. Partzovitz studied as a partner with Rabbi Berenbaum's brother-in-law, Rabbi Elya Svei, during the latter's brief stay in Israel.〔(My Machberes: Rabbi Elya Svei )〕 Following the death of Shmuelevitz in 1979, Partzovitz was promoted to Rosh Yeshiva of Mir, however, due to physical illness, his active reign as Rosh Yeshiva was short-lived. As a Talmudic lecturer and later Rosh Yeshiva in Mir Yeshiva, Partzovitz is known for having close personal relationships with his students.〔(Do You Know Where Your Boychik Is? )〕 Partzovitz was survived by his two sons, Rabbi Tzvi Partzovitz (Rosh Yeshivaof Mir Brachfeld) and Rabbi Refael Partzovitz and his three sons-in-law, Rabbi Chaim Mendel Brodsky (yeshiva of Yeshiva Gedolah Of Toronto ), Rabbi Yitzchok Hellman, and Rabbi Asher Arieli. Partzovitz's daily and general lectures are being printed posthumously by his children and students as ''Chiddushei Reb Nochum'' and ''Shiurei Reb Nochum''. A Haggadah featuring words of Torah from the various Rosh Yeshivas of Mir also includes commentaries and lectures from Rabbi Nachum ((Haggadah Shel Pesach, Mir (HE) )). ==Works and Students== * Chaim Mendel Brodsky * Eliyahu Boruch Finkel * Avigdor Nebenzahl * Asher Arieli * Chaim Kamil() * Gedaliah Finkel * Hanoch Teller * Aharon Lopiansky, son-in-law of Binyomin Beinush Finkel 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nochum Partzovitz」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
