Shmuel Auerbach
Rabbi Shmuel Auerbach (Hebrew: שמואל אורבך רב) (September 21, 1931 – February 24, 2018)[1] was a Haredi rabbi. He was born in Jerusalem, Israel. He was thought as a leading non-Hasidic Lithuanian posek (halachic authority) for many Haredi Jews in Israel.[2]
Rabbi Auerbach was the rosh yeshiva of Yeshivas Maalot HaTorah[3] and the Nasi (president) of Yeshivas Midrash Shmuel[4] and Yeshivas Toras Simcha,[5] both in Jerusalem. For a short time, he also served as one of the roshei yeshiva of Yeshivas Itri in Jerusalem.[6]
Rabbi Auerbach died in Jerusalem on February 24, 2018 of heart disease at the age of 86.
