summary

R. Baruch Ber Leibowitz was one of the prime disciples of Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik of Brisk, his teacher at the Volozhin yeshiva. As Rosh Yeshiva of Knesses Beis Yitzchak, the non-mussar offshoot of the Slabodka yeshiva named for R. Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor, R. Leibowitz was an exponent of the style of Talmud study pioneered by R. Chaim, his teacher. R. Leibowitz’s Birkas Shmuel and Shiurei Rabbi Baruch Ber are widely studied in yeshivos to this day.
