HaRav Yitzchok (Itzele) of Volozhin

• HaRav Yitzchok (Itzele) of Volozhin
• Reb Iztele Reb Chaim headed the yeshiva until 1825. He had a son, Rabbi Yitzchak, who was called “Reb Itzele.” When Reb Chaim died, Reb Itzele became head of the yeshiva and the chief rabbi in Volozhin.

When Reb Itzele died, around 1854-55, his son-in-law, Rabbi Eliezar Fried, became the head of the yeshiva, together with Rabbi Yoshe Ber Soloveitchik, a direct grandson of Reb Chaim.

Reb Itzele had a son-in-law, Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin, who would become famous and called by the acronym, “the Netziv” (which in Hebrew means “the Prince”). Naftali Tzvi Yehuda Berlin married into the family when he was only 14. He learned for 10 years in his father-in-law’s house, but his greatness was not readily apparent at first. Rabbi Eliezar Fried, Reb Itzele’s other son-in-law, was far more well-known for his Talmudic prowess. . . continued
