Held in great awe by his Rabbinical contemporaries for his vast scholarship and piety. With the stamps of R. Yosef Dov HaLevi Soloveitchik, the Beis HaLevi. R. Yosef Dov (Yoshe Ber) Soloveitchik (1820-1892), was a great-grandson of R. Chaim Volozhiner. Known as an extraordinarily brilliant child, he learned in the great Yeshiva of Volozhin. He also spent some time in Brod where he learned with R. Shlomo Kluger. In 1854, he was appointed Rosh Yeshiva in Volozhin, where he served until 1865, when he was appointed Rav in Slutzk. Amongst his talmidim from that period were R. Yosef Rosen the Rogatchover Gaon (who learned with his son R. Chaim), and R. Zalman Sender Shapiro. He fiercely opposed the Reform movement and eventually, as a result of the activities of the Maskilim, he left Slutzk and moved to Warsaw. When the Rav of Brisk, R. Yehoshua Leib Diskin, left for Eretz Yisroel in 1877, the Beis Ha’Levy succeeded him as Rav. He led the community of Brisk until his passing, when he was succeeded by his son R. Chaim, who in turn was succeeded by his son R. Velvel and until today the name Soloveitchik remains synonymous with “Brisk”.  Stefansky Chassidus 499. Vinograd Sodilkov 58.
