“R. Shimon” was one of the most highly regarded Roshei Yeshiva in pre-war Europe. He served in Telz, Maltch, Brainsk and Grodno. For a short period he delivered lectures at Yeshiva R. Isaac Elchanan in New York. His Talmudic novellae and lectures recorded in his magnum opus “Shaarei Yosher” (1928) received universal praise.
