Biographical History
Rabbi David Lifshitz (1907-1993) was chief rabbi of Suwalk, Poland before World War II. Fleeing the Holocaust in 1941, he was appointed RoshYeshiva (Dean) of Beit Midrash LeTorah (Hebrew Theological College) in Chicago. In 1944, was appointed a Rosh Yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary, where he taught for almost 50 years. His discourses in chochma (intellectual thought) and mussar (Jewish ethical practices) were compiled and published by his students with the title Tehillah LeDovid. His classes on the Talmud were also published as Shiurei Rav Dovid Lifshitz. Rabbi Lifshitz was a member of the presidium of the Agudath HaRabbonim of the United States and Canada for many years, and was a leader in the Ezras Torah organization. He served as Honorary President of the Suwalk & Vicinity Relief Committee in the United States, which provided assistance to Holocaust survivors from that area and strove to preserve the legacy of Suwalki Jews. He was also active in Israeli communal and political affairs, and was a supporter of the formation of the Chazit Datit (United Religious Bloc) following the establishment of the State of Israel.
