Rav Refoel Binyomin Levine zt"l
Rav Refoel Binyomin Levine, son of Rav Aryeh Levine. Rav Refoel studied in the Eitz Chaim Talmud Torah, and was very close to its Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer. He continued his studies in the Chevron yeshiva in Yerushalayim and the Lomza yeshiva in Petach Tikvah, where he studied bechavrusa with Rav Reuven Katz, the rov of Petach Tikva. He married Channah Liba, daughter of Rav Chaim Shraga Feivel Frank, the rav of the Yemin Moshe neighborhood in Yerushalayim. After his marriage, he continued his studies in the Mirrer yeshiva under Rav Eliezer Yehuda Finkel. When the Beis Aryeh yeshiva opened, Rav Refoel's father, Rav Aryeh Levine asked him to serve as its menahel ruchani, a position he occupied until his final day. He was also a Dayan in the Beis Din Tzeddek of the Ashkenaz-Perushim community founded by Rav Shmuel Salant. (1925-2002)
