London: 11th Tamuz 1946
A student of R. Chaim Soloveitchik, Dayan Yechezkel Abramsky (“Reb Chatzkel”) studied in several of the leading yeshivos in Lithuania. During the Soviet period he was a significant figure in the resistance against religious oppression, founding a rabbinic Va’ad along with Rabbi Shlomo Yosef Zevin. The Soviets sentenced R. Abramsky to five years hard labor in Siberia, yet freed him after two years due to intervention and a prisoner exchange orchestrated by German Chancellor Brüning. He left the Soviet Union and arrived in London to lead the Machzikei HaDath community. In 1934 Chief Rabbi J. H. Hertz appointed R. Abramsky to be a Dayan on the London Beth Din. After 17 years service, he moved to Eretz Israel, where he led Yeshivas Slabodka in Bnei Brak. R. Abramsky’s master work is a 25-volume commentary to the “Tosefta Chazon Yechezkel, .”
