Chaim Leib Auerbach
Chajim Jehuda Leib Auerbach ( 1883 in Jerusalem - September 26, 1954 ibid) was an important rabbi and the first Rosh of the yeshiva Sha'ar Hashamaim.
His father was Avraham Dov Auerbach, rabbi in Tschernowitz and Chmielnik . After a shared dream, in which Rabbi Isaak Luria , who died in 1572 , asked them to spread his teaching, he and Rabbi Shimon Lider Horowitz founded the Sha'ar Hashamajim Yeshiva in Jerusalem. This is an Ashkenazi yeshiva, which is still dedicated to Talmudic and Luric Kabbalistic studies today . From 1906 until his death in 1954, Auerbach was their first Rosh Yeshiva ( head of a yeshiva ).
Auerbach wrote a well-known Torah commentary with Chacham Lev .
He married Tzivya, the daughter of Rav Schlomo Salman Porusch (1850–1898), and had seven children with her, including Jewish scholars. The eldest son was Schlomo Salman Auerbach , one of the most important Poskim of the 20th century. Shalom Squadron , the Jerusalem Maggid , and Rav Simche Bunem Leisersohn were his sons-in-law.
