Rabbi Baruch Halevi Epstein, whose works Torah Temimah, Mekor Baruch, Baruch She’amar are all classics in their respective fields, was the son of R. Yechiel Michel Epstein, author of the Aruch HaShulchan. R. Yehuda Leib Fishman (Maimon) (1875-1962) was a close associate of Rav Kook and one of the founders of the Mizrachi movement and Mossad Horav Kook. Rabbi Fishman received Semicha from Rabbi Epstein's father, the Aruch HaShulchan, and was later the first Minister of Religion in the State of Israel.
