Rabbi Polonsky was the rabbi of Teplik in Volhynia. After immigrating to Eretz Yisrael in 1922 he became rabbi of the Beit Yisrael neighborhood in Jerusalem. His work Divrei Aharon on Shas and poskim was published shortly before his death. Rabbi Bick-Shauli (1913-90) published an edition of Megilat Sefer by R. Ya’akov Emden, and many scholarly works. His father, mentioned in this document, was R. Shaul Yissachar Bick (1884-1971) of Medziboz.
