b'Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer (1870-1953) was a great Torah leader of the 20th century, whose life story spanned eras and continents. As a young teenager he studied in the vaunted Volozhin Yeshiva, then married into the prestigious Frank family of Kovno, where he subsequently was appointed rosh yeshiva of Slabodka. This was followed by his departure for Slutzk where he remained as rosh yeshiva and later as communal rabbi for decades.\\nFollowing the formation of the Soviet Union and the challenges of maintaining religious life therein, he immigrated to Palestine in 1925. There he assumed the leadership of the Eitz Chaim yeshiva and served in several leadership positions in both the yishuv and later in Israel, where he oversaw the growth of the emerging Torah community.\\n\\xa0\\nTo dedicate an episode in the Jewish History Soundbites \\u2018Jewish Saviors of the Holocaust\\u2019 series, please contact Yehuda at yehuda@yehudageberer.com\\xa0\\n\\xa0\\nJewish History Soundbites is coming to NY!
