Yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok is the yeshiva that was established in Jerusalem in the late 1970s by Rabbi Yitzchok Hutner who had come from the United States as the long-standing rosh yeshiva ("dean") of the Yeshiva Rabbi Chaim Berlin and Kollel Gur Aryeh in Brooklyn, New York City.
Upon the passing of Rabbi Hutner in 1980, leadership of the yeshiva passed to his son-in-law, Rabbi Yonasan David who then became its sole rosh yeshiva. Rabbi David is married to Rabbi Hutner's only daughter Rebbetzin Dr, Bruria Hutner David. They have no children.
The name of the yeshiva Pachad Yitzchok, which means "fear of Isaac" (derived from a verse in Genesis and is used as an allusion to God) was chosen to honor Rabbi Hutner's ten volume work on Jewish thought and philosophy that is also know as Sefer Pachad Yitzchok. The name "Yitzchok" is "Isaac" in Hebrew.
