Biography
Moshe Aharon Poleyeff was born in 1888, in Timkovitz, near Slutsk, 98 km south of Minsk, Belarus.[3][4]
He was a student of Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, from whom he received his smicha in 1910.
Poleyeff arrived in the United States in 1920, and immediately began a teaching career at Yeshiva University in New York, where for about 46 years he was one of the most revered YU/RIETS Roshei Yeshiva.[5] His Talmidim numbered in the thousands.[3]
He also served as a synagogue rabbi in the Bronx.
Rav Poleyeff died 2 Kislev; on his 25th Yartzeit, a former student with whom he had ongoing correspondence,[6] Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, spoke in the NYC shul of son Rabbi Yisroel Poleyeff. For the 50th Yartzeit, YU/RIETS made a special gathering.[7][8]
