Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin (1816–1893). The head of the Wołożyn Yeshiva and one of the greatest leaders of Orthodox Judaism in the pre-war generation. He was born to his father, Rabbi Yaakov, who was a merchant scholar in the town of Mir. At the age of 11, he began to study at the Yeshiva in Wołożyn, where he found favor in the eyes of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Itzale, who took took him as husband for his daughter, two and a half years later. For about twenty-five years after his wedding, he sat and toiled in Torah very persistently and in a unique way that he paved for himself (very different from the standard yeshiva method of study and slightly reminiscent of the Gra's method of study). During these years he composed his monumental Sefer "Ha'amek She'eila" on the She'iltos of Rav Achai Gaon, with his famous detailed introduction to the Torah.Later he was appointed Rosh Yeshiva and lead with might multitudes of Jews in the diaspora.  He also composed his well-known commentary on the Torah "Ha'amek Davar" and the Passover Haggadah with commentary ‘Imrei Shefer’. Many of the giants of the next generation were among his disciples.
