R. Eliezer Gordon, a brilliant Talmudic scholar, was a prime disciple of Rabbi Yisrael Salanter. Under his devoted leadership, the yeshiva in Telz became one of the flagship yeshivas in Eastern Europe, attracting hundreds of students, as well as a most distinguished faculty. After a devastating fire struck the town of Telz in 1910, he traveled to London to raise funds to rebuild the community. While in London he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away.
