Divrei Yechezkel. First Edition. Keidan 1934.
Classic work by R. Yechezkel Borstein, Rosh Yeshiva of Ohr Yisroel of Slabodka.
R. Yechezkel Borstein (1889-1941), was born in Trestina, a suburb of Bialystok, and learned in the Slabodka Yeshiva. Whilst there, he often went to hear the shiurim of R. Baruch Ber Leibowitz. Between the years 1918-1922, he served as a Ra”M in the Yeshiva established in Karilov by R. Avrohom Leib Schor, during which the two studied together. In 1922, he joined the famed Kovno Kollel. In 1923, The Alter of Slabodka and his son R. Moshe Finkel established Yeshivas Ohr Yisroel of Slabodka for younger students. R. Yechezkel was appointed as Ra”M and his shiurim attracted hundreds of students. His sefer was warmly received and remains a classic work learned in the Lithuanian Yeshivos.
In 1941, R. Yechezkel was murdered by the Nazis at the infamous 9th Fort of Kovno.
