Shaul Brus

Rabbi Shaul Brus (שאול ברוסHE:)(1919–2008) is known as the Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva Beis HaTalmud.

Rabbi Brus was born in Savin, Poland to a family of Trisker Hasidim. At the age of 16, after having studied in the Yeshiva in Pinsk from the age of 11, Shaul Brus was accepted into the Yeshiva of Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz in Kaminetz. There he became a close student of Rabbi Leibowitz and devoted his life to expounding on his teacher's Talmudic methodology.

He was exiled to Siberia during the Holocaust and eventually found refuge in America, where he became a Talmudic lecturer at Yeshiva Beis HaTalmud in Bensonhurst, Brooklyn. He stayed at this position for over half a century. In reference to Rabbi Brus's devotion and diligence to Torah study, Rabbi Brus is reputed to have always been at the side of his Gemara and never attended any public gatherings.

He suffered a serious stroke in November 2006, from which he never recovered. He died on June 9, 2008 on the second day of the holiday of Shavuot.
