Renowned Polish Talmudic scholar Rabbi Simcha Elberg (1915-95) also wrote a number of poetic works under the pseudonym “E. Symchoni.” During World War II, he escaped with the Mirrer Yeshiva to Shanghai via Kobe, Japan. He settled in New York in 1947 where he served as editor of HaPardes, a journal of Talmudic studies. He also served as a member of the executive committee of Agudath Israel of America and chairman of the executive board of the Union of Orthodox Rabbis.
