Rabbi Ahron Dovid Burack (also known as Aaron David or Ahron David) was born in Popelan (now Papile), Lithuania, in 1892[1] or 1893[2] to Rabbi Chaim Natan Burack and Basse Gittel Gibberman. He studied at several yeshivot in Europe before immigrating to the U.S. in 1914.[3] In 1917, the Orthodox Jewish synagogue Ohel Moshe Chevra Tehilim in New York granted him a lifetime contract to serve as rabbi of the congregation.[2] Rabbi Burack became Rosh Yeshiva at the Rabbi Isaac Elchanan Theological Seminary in 1919.[1] Rabbi Burack was the author of Pirchei Aharon (Flowers of Aaron), two volumes of "homiletics and halacha".[4] He died on October 7, 1960, during the Sukkot holiday,[3] and was buried in Jerusalem.
