The Rosh Yeshiva
Rabbi Shlomo Fisher, Shlita

With G-d's help, we have merited having the great Gaon, Rabbi Shlomo Fisher, in our yeshiva for many years. Lately, in 5760, Rabbi Fisher was appointed to the position of Rosh Yeshiva.
This great Rabbi, known by everyone simply as "Reb. Shloime," is one of the most-known rabbis of Jerusalem. He is famous for his dilligence and ingenuity, as for his well-written and carefully explained deep torah thoughts. But for the most, Rabbi Fisher is known for his brilliant sermons, speeches, named "Drushim".
The Rosh Yeshiva uses his brilliant mind and and his vast knowledge of Jewish sources to come up with many original explanations on many concepts of "Aggadah", Midrash and others that appear in all Jewish sources. His sefer, "Drashot Beit Yishai" was published in 5760 (2000) and was greatly accepted throughout the Jewish world. It sold so well that it's practically almost sold out! People were waiting impatiently for the next edition to be printed. And indeed, a second improved and revised edition was published in 5764 (2004). Many of the Drushim printed there were said by the Rav in many ways here at the Yeshiva. Read about it here.
Of course we musn't forget to mention the original "Beit Yishai," R. Fisher's sefer on talmudic subjects, which was published first in 5747 (1987). This sefer deals with "Pilpul" in all topics of Talmud, and offers brilliant original ideas ("Chidushim") which are greatly accepted in the Yeshiva. Since the original publication, the Rabbi has added many additions and footnotes to the exisitng text, and all these were published in a new revised edition, late in 5755 (2005). I hope to write about it soon.
Our Rabbi was born in 5692 (1932) in Jerusalem, and grew up there, studying at the Mir Yeshiva around the time of the establishment of the state. His father died when he was very young. Still, he and his three brothers all emerged as prominent Rabbis and Torah Giants.
Rabbi Fisher, for many years, has been a Dayan (Judge) in one of Israel's top Rabbinic Courts, which deals with complex problems of divorce and conversion to Judaism. The court, here in Jerusalem, is known as "The Court For Special Matters", and second only to the High Rabbinic Court. In the year 5762 (2002), Rabbi Fisher retired from his job, and now spends the day learning diligently in his study at ITRI Yeshiva, where many students hear his weekly "Shiurim" and approach him with many questions on all topics of Torah!
Rabbi Shlomo Fisher lives in Har Nof with his wife, and has many children and grandchildren living throughout the country.
