Biography
Moshe Aharon Poleyeff was born in 1888, in Timkovitz, near Slutsk, 98 km south of Minsk, Belarus[4][5] (White Russia).[3]
He was a student of Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer, from whom he received his smicha in 1910;[4] married 1912.[3]
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.[6] His Talmidim numbered in the thousands.[4] His "Thursday Shiur" teaching methodology incorporated a student-presented topic, followed by discussion; he helped the student prepare the prior week or two.[3]
He also served as a synagogue rabbi in the Bronx.
Rav Poleyeff died 2 Kislev 5727 (1966); on his 25th Yartzeit, a former student with whom he had ongoing correspondence,[7] Rabbi Mordechai Gifter, spoke in the NYC shul of son Rabbi Yisroel Poleyeff. YU's Hershel Schacter spoke at the 30th.[3] For the 50th Yartzeit, YU/RIETS made a special gathering.[8][9]
