Personal Yom Kippur Machzor of the Tzaddik Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, Rosh Yeshiva of Ponovezh

Personal Machzor HaGra for Yom Kippur owned and used by Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz.

Rabbi Michel Yehuda signed his name on the flyleaf: "L’Hashem ha’aretz… Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz, 4 Vilkomierer Street, 5767 (2007)."

Rabbi Michel Yehuda Lefkowitz (1914 – 2011) was a world-renowned Torah leader of the post-Holocaust generation. He served as the rosh yeshiva of Ponovezh and taught Torah there for sixty years. Rabbi Chaim Kanievsky was one of his first students and considered Rabbi Michel Yehuda his “rav muvhak” (primary rabbi). Thousands flocked to him from near and far in pursuit of advice and blessing. He was an avid zealot for the continuity of traditional and authentic Judaism and served as a member of the Mo’etzes Gedolei HaTorah.

This Machzor HaGra was published in Jerusalem, 2002.
