Kobryn: 20th Teveth 1937
A student of the Chofetz Chaim and one of foremost Roshei Yeshiva in Lithuania in the pre-Holocaust generation, R. Pesach Pruskin was the Mashgiach of the Yeshiva of Slutzk under R. Isser Zalman Meltzer. Later he was Rosh Yeshiva of the Kobrin Yeshiva, as well as rabbi of the city. One of his disciples was Rabbi Moshe Feinstein who later wrote: "I benefited greatly from listening to his lectures and original insights in the years that I merited to be his student in the years before the First World War.” (From a 1968 letter published in the beginning of Shiurei R. Pesach MiKobrin).
