The most prominent dynasty of rashe yeshivot (rectors of Talmudic academies) in modern times. This exceptional Lithuanian Misnagdic family has produced outstanding rabbinical scholars in every generation over the last two centuries. The family traces its ancestry to the close disciple of the Gaon of Vilna, Ḥayim of Volozhin, himself the scion of a long line of rabbis. Inspired by his master, Ḥayim established a yeshiva in 1802 in Volozhin, where he was rabbi. Although yeshivas had flourished in Eastern Europe in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, for various reasons they had all but disappeared during the eighteenth century. The yeshiva in Volozhin marked the beginnings of an efflorescence of Lithuanian yeshivas with which the Soloveichik family is so closely identified.- title
