Rabbi Sorotzkin is widely recognized as a Gadol and leader of American Orthodox Jewry and he is a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah (Council of Torah Sages).[1][2][3]
Biography[edit]
Sorotzkin is the son of Rabbi Baruch Sorotzkin, a Rosh Yeshiva in Telshe Yeshiva whose position he inherited. Due to controversy concerning the leadership of the Telshe Yeshiva in Cleveland, Sorotzkin relocated to Lakewood, NJ.[citation needed] There he continues to teach students and publish his works.
Sorotzkin, in addition to having studied under his father, is also a student of Rabbi Berel Soloveitchik.[4]
Sorotzkin is the son-in-law of the late Rabbi Yecheskel Grubner, Chief Rabbi of Detroit.[5] Sorotzkin is also recognized world-wide as a lecturer and had delivered many keynote addresses and guest lectures.[6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13]
