Rav Yoav Yehoshua Weingarten zt"l
Rav Yoav Yehoshua Weingarten of Kintzk, the Chelkas Yoav. His foundation in learning was established by Rav Zev Nachum Borenstein, the Agudas Eizov, but his Rav Muvhok was the Agudas Eizov’s son, Rav Avrohom Borenstein, the Avnei Nezer, who was only six years his elder. In 1883, Rav Yoav accepted the positions of Rav and Rosh Yeshiva in Litomirsk. In 1889, he became Rav of Gustinin, and founded a Yeshiva there. From 1894 until his petira, he served as Rav in Kintzk. In 1894, he published Chelkas Yoav. He also published a sefer called Kava Dekesheisa, 103 unanswered kushyos on Shas intended to whet the minds of B’nei Yeshiva. After the petira of the Avnei Nezer, Rav Yoav accepted the authority of his son, the Shem MiShmuel. After his own petira, his only son, Rav Meir, succeeded him as Rav of Kintzk. His son held the post for twenty-seven years until he and his entire family were murdered.
