Stamp on the title page: Rabbi Yechezkel Levenstein – ‘R’ Chatzkel’ [1885-1974] was one of the mussar greats. He served as mashgiach at yeshivahs Mir, Lomza and Ponovezh. He was a disciple of the author of Chafetz Chaim; Rabbi Yerucham Levovitz; Rabbi Nachum Ze’ev Ziv (son of the ‘Alter’ of Kelm) and of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Broide. He enjoyed this world very little. He fasted more than he ate and his scraggy body held up only due to the gentle soul within. Rabbi Shach said of him to the yeshivah students: “Don’t think that before the world war there were many people like him. Even in that holy generation, the mashgiach was one of the very few!” In his eulogy for him at his funeral, Rabbi Shach said, “The mashgiach was the greatest servant of Hashem that I ever saw.” His essays are published in the Ohr Yechezkel books.
