thumbnail Rabbi Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss is the Chief Rabbi or ''Gaavad'' (''Gaon Av Beis Din'') of Jerusalem for the Edah HaChareidis. He was appointed to this post in 2004, after having served as a ''dayan'' of the ''Machzike Hadass'' community of Antwerp, Belgium. Rabbi Weiss is a British national. He was born in Slovakia to Rabbi Shlomo Weiss, a ''talmid chacham''. He attended the local secular school in the mornings and studied with a private ''melamed'' in the afternoons. Before World War II, he escaped Slovakia on a ''Kindertransport'', leaving his parents and family behind.〔 He arrived with the ''Kindertransport'' at London after Shavuos in 1939, where he celebrated the ''Shabbos'' of his ''bar mitzvah'' at the home of a British woman who took him in. The only ''sefer'' he received for his ''bar mitzvah'' was a copy of the Kitzur Shulchan Aruch, which he studied many weeks until he mastered it. He also received a pair of ''tefillin'', sent to him from his father through the Red Cross before he was martyred. By the time the ''tefillin'' arrived, none of his parents were alive. He continued his education at Yeshivas Toras Emes in Stamford Hill, London, (also known as Shneider's Yeshiva) where he studied under Rabbi Moshe (Yehuda) Schneider. One of his peers at the Yeshiva was Rabbi Moishe Sternbuch who currently serves alongside him as the ''Raavad'' (''Rosh Av Beis Din'') of Jerusalem. After his marriage, he studied at the Gateshead Kollel under Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler, who served as ''rosh kollel''.〔 A few years later, Weiss moved to London where he was hired as a ''maggid shiur'' at a yeshiva and as a ''posek'' and ''rav'' of a ''shul''. Later, he moved to Antwerp where he served as a ''maggid shiur'' at a yeshiva in Wilrijk and where he was appointed as ''dayan'' in 1967. When he accepted his new role as ''Gaavad'', he also adopted the traditional Jerusalem mode of dress. == References == 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「Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
