The Gaon Rabbi Yisrael Chaim Deiches (1850-1937), was among England's senior rabbis. He was born in Lithuania and studied in the great Lithuanian yeshivot, where he developed a relationship with Rabbi Yisrael Salanter and Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor of Kovno. He served as rabbi of Władysławów (Neustadt Schirwindt, Today Kudirkos Naumiestis, Lithuania), where he was renowned for his scholarship and wisdom. In 1901 he accepted the rabbinate of Leeds, England.
The first volume of his novellae on the Jerusalem Talmud (Bava Kama) was published in Vilna in 1880, and the sections on Bava Metzia and Bava Basra were published in London in 1926-1927. His sermons were published as "Drashot Rabbi Yisrael Chaim", Leeds, 1920. He authored many other works as well as editing and publishing the journal "Beit Va'ad LaChachamim" (Leeds-London, 1902-1904).
