Jerusalem, 14th Kislev, 1942.


Known in his youth as the Shnipishoker Illui (Šnipiškės, near Vilna), R. Zelig Reuven Bengis was one of the leading students of the Netziv of Volozhin who called him "a living Shas.” Following the death of R. Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld, R. Bengis was invited to Jerusalem to become the Ga’avad (Head) of the Edah HaChareidis. He also served as Rosh Yeshiva of Ohel Moshe, which was founded by the Mahari’l Diskin (1818-98), and which was led (before R. Bengis’s tenure) by his son, R. Yitzchak Yerucham Diskin (1839-1925).
