Rabbi Shabsi Yogel was an Orthodox Jewish rabbi in Belarus and Israel. He served as the rosh yeshiva of the Slonim Yeshiva in Europe and after the Holocaust, reestablished it in Ramat Gan, Israel.
Rabbi Yogel was born in Pieski, Russia (currently in the Masty District, Belarus) in 1874 or 1875. [1] [2] [3] He studied first in the Kibbutz HaPerusim in Eišiškės (Eishishok) [1] before going to learn in the Volozhin Yeshiva under the tutelage of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin and Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik. [2] He then went on to marrying Liba, the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer Yosef Kletzkin of Slonim, [1] and settled in the city, where he joined the local kollel founded by Rabbi Yosef Yozel Horowitz. [2]
In 1905, Rabbi Yogel became rosh yeshiva of the Slonim Yeshiva, a yeshiva ketana (yeshiva for younger teenagers) [2] that had been established in the city in the early nineteenth century. [4] As rosh yeshiva, he brought in Rabbi Dovid Bender to serve as menahel (principal), [2] as well as his son, Rabbi Peretz Yogel, who helped him in running the yeshiva. [5] Under his leadership, the yeshiva saw significant growth [2] with its student body numbering between 125 and 175 students in the 1920s. [5] He was also involved in the World Agudath Israel. At the outbreak of World War II, Rabbi Yogel fled to Vilnius and from there, [1] in 1941, to Ramat Gan in Palestine, where he reestablished his yeshiva. [4] In addition, he opened a Bais Yaakov, a cheder , and a kollel, and served on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. [2] He remained at the head of the yeshiva until his death in January 1957. [1]

Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich, commonly referred to as the Baranovich Yeshiva or simply as Baranovich, was an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Baranavichy, Belarus. Established circa 1906 by Rabbi Yosef Yoizel Horowitz, the Alter of Novardok (Navahrudak), it attracted leading rabbis such as Rabbi Yisroel Yaakov Lubchansky and Rabbi Avraham Yoffen as instructors, but was forced to disband with the outbreak of World War I. After the war, Rabbi Elchonon Wasserman, a student of the Radin Yeshiva who had been forced into exile in Smilavičy during the hostilities, agreed to serve as rosh yeshiva (dean) upon the recommendation of the Chofetz Chaim. In the interwar period, the yeshiva gained widespread fame and a large student body. Wasserman's style of teaching emphasized the simple meaning of the Talmudic texts and students advanced to the point that they were able to study independently. The yeshiva went into exile and disbanded a second time during World War II, and Wasserman and many of the students were murdered by Lithuanian Nazi sympathizers. Torah institutions named after the Baranovich Yeshiva and Wasserman were later established in the United States and Israel.

After the German invasion of Poland in World War II and the division of Poland between Germany and the Soviet Union, many yeshivas that had previously been part of Poland found themselves under Soviet communist rule, which did not tolerate religious institutions. The yeshivas therefore escaped to Vilnius in Lithuania on the advice of Rabbi Chaim Ozer Grodzinski. In Lithuania, the yeshivas were able to function fully for over a year and many of the students survived the Holocaust because of their taking refuge there, either because they managed to escape from there or because they were ultimately deported to other areas of Russia that the Nazis did not reach. Many students, however, did not manage to escape and were killed by the Nazis or their Lithuanian collaborators.
