R. Meir Simcha of Dvinsk was one of the foremost Rabbinic leaders of the pre-War generation. He was known as the “Ohr Same’ach” after his Halachic magnum opus, a penetrating study on the Mishneh Torah of Maimonides. His Meshech Chochmah was published posthumously by R. Menachem Mendel Zak and has since been republished many times to great acclaim. Born in Bransk, Poland, R. Moshe Rosen (1870-1957) authored Nezer HaKodesh on Kodashim. He was close to the Chazon Ish before moving to the United States in 1928.
