Rabbi Shimon Tzvi Horowitz [1870-1947] was one of the founders and heads of the Kabbalists’ yeshivah, and an author of Kabbalistic books. He traveled to Asia as an emissary of the sages of Jerusalem to search for the ten lost tribes. The pious Kabbalist Rabbi Shimon Tzvi Horowitz was born in Lida, and in 1887, he ascended to the Holy Land where he studied at the Etz Chaim yeshivah and the Beit E-l Kabbalists’ yeshivah. He was, as stated, one of the founders of the Sha’ar HaShamayim yeshivah – the yeshivah for Ashkenazic Kabbalists in Jerusalem, and he stood at its head together with Rabbi Chaim Yehudah Leib Auerbach. He passed away on the second day of Rosh HaShanah, 1946, in Motza, where he would seclude himself, and he was buried in the Mount of Olives.
