Binyomin Beinush Finkel
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Binyomin Beinush Finkel, (1911-1990), was the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Mir in Jerusalem. He was born in Mir, Belarus, where his father Rabbi Eliezer Yehudah Finkel was the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Mir. At that time, Yeshivas Mir was located in its original town - Mir. Rabbi Finkel acquired most of his Torah knowledge in Yeshivas Mir. In 1931, he studied under the Chofetz Chaim, and in 1933-34 under Rav Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik, the Brisker Rov. After his arrival in Palestine he became close to the Chazon Ish. He married the daughter of Rav Shmuel Greineman, the Chazon Ish's brother-in-law. The match was made by the Chazon Ish. He began giving lectures in Yeshivas Mir, and in 1965 he began to head the yeshiva.
His son-in-law Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel (a distant relative from his own side) is the current rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Mir.
Rabbi Beinush died on February 13,1990.
