Reb Meir Yehudah Leibush ben Yechiel Michel - The "Malbim" - מלבים ,
1809-1879 . He was born in Volhynia and was still a child when his father
died. He studied in his native town until the age of 13. He then went to Warsaw
where he was known as the ‘iluy (prodigy) from Volhynia.’ From 1838 to 1845 he was rabbi of Wreschen, district of Posen, and in the latter year was called to the rabbinate of Kempen, where he remained until 1860; he was thereafter known as "der Kempener."
In 1860 the מלבים Malbim became chief rabbi of Bucharest, Rumania. But he could not agree with the rich German Jews there; they wished to introduce the Reformed rite, and did not shrink even from violence in the pursuit of their aims. By intrigues they succeeded in throwing him into prison, and though he was liberated through the intervention of Sir Moses Montefiore, it was upon the condition that he leave Rumania.
He became Rav of Moghilef, on the Dnieper in 1870, but his lack of subservience provoked the resentment of the richer Jews, who denounced him as a political criminal. The governor of Moghilef ordered him to leave town. Malbim then went to Königsberg as chief rabbi of the Polish community, but there he fared no better than in Bucharest and Moghilef; he was continually harassed by the German Jews. His fame and immense popularity rests upon his widely esteemed commentary to Tanach, in which he details the close reationship between the Oral and the Written Law.

Reb Yisroel of Stolin, the Yanuka , Born on 10th Kislev, 1868, Reb Yisroel was only 4 years old when his father Reb
Osher (the second) of Karlin was nifter, on the 15th Av, 1873, in the town of
Drohobich (Galicia). The Karlin chasidim resolved to meet this lack of
leadership by standing firm in their loyalty to the Karlin dynasty, and
therefore proclaimed the Yenuka [Child] Yisroel to be their Rebbe. The influence
of the Haskalah movement, which had first begun to be felt in R. Aharon the
Second's days grew stronger in Reb Yisrael's time. Rav Yisrael died at the age of
52 on the second day of Rosh Hashanah, 1921, far away from his native town, in a
convalescent home in Homburg, Germany. He was buried in Frankfurt-on-Main.

Reb Yona Mertzbach, Mashgiach of Yeshiva Kol Hatorah , and a central figure in the redaction of the Encyclopedia Talmudica. He
was also renowned as an authority on the Hebrew grammar and language, and also
on the authentic German minhagim. The Nazis assumed power in Germany on the 3rd
of Shevat (January 30), 1933. Darmstadt, the city where Reb Mertzbach was then
rov, was the first city in the country where the Nazis closed all Jewish shops
for an entire day, on the 28th of March. Their pretext was that the opening of
the Jewish stores, "endangered communal order and tranquility." Approximately 300,000 Jews left Germany before the war and another 150,000 managed to escape after the war started, whereas approximately 160,000 perished in concentration and forced labor camps. Four months after Kristallnacht, the family arrived in Eretz Yisroel on Shushan Purim, 1939.
Reb Aharon HaLevi Soloveichik, one of the great Soloveitchik family, son of Reb Moshe Soloveitchik, and grandson of Reb Chaim Soloveitchik, the famed Rosh Yeshiva of Volozhin and Rov of Brisk.

When the Soloveitchik's moved to New York in 1928 with Rav Moshe assuming the position of Rosh Yeshiva in Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchonon, young Reb Aharon continued learning under the tutelage of his father who gave him semicha. He was taught English by Reb Avigdor Miller, who later would serve as the Mashgiach at Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin. In the early 1950s he became a magid shiur in Yeshivas Rabbeinu Chaim Berlin under the leadership of Reb Yitzchak Hutner. After the petira of his father in 1941, Reb Aharon lived in Washington Heights to aid his his mother. In 1966, he came to Chicago as Rosh Yeshiva of Bais Medrash LaTorah, Hebrew Theological College in Skokie, a post he held until 1974. He eventually left that institution and started Yeshivas Brisk of Chicago. In 1983, a debilitating stroke left Reb Aharon partially paralyzed. His body racked with pain, his mind was still sharp and he continued his shiurim, despite tremendous physical difficulties. After the passing of his brother Reb Yoseph Ber he would travel each week to Yeshiva Rabbeinu Yitzchak Elchanan to give shiurim in his late brother’s stead. please see full article with photos www.famousrabbis.com/Reb Aharon Soleveitchik

Reb Eliyahu ben Shlomo Zalman, the Vilna Gaon (1720-1797). At the age of seven he
gave his first public discourse and displayed a fully developed intellect. By
the time he was ten he had advanced to the point where he no longer needed a
teacher. At the age of 35 he was approached by one of the leading sages of that
time, Rabbi Yehonosson Eibeschitz, to act as an intermediary in the conflict between
him and another great sage, Rabbi Yakov Emden. The Gaon's son testified that for
fifty years his father did not sleep for more than two hours in a twenty-four
hour period. His breadth of knowledge was amazing. He was capable of stating
from memory the number of times any sage was mentioned in any particular book of
the Talmud. His knowledge of both the revealed and the hidden parts of the Torah
was beyond compare. The Gaon considered secular knowledge to be a vital adjunct
to Torah study. He was knowledgeable in almost all secular fields and authored
books on grammar and mathematics. Below is the photo of the tomb - Ohel - grave of the Vilna Gaon ,
