Their biography
Rabbi Moshe Danishevsky (1830-1910) was invited in 1894 by the rabbi of Kovno, Rabbi Yitzchal Elchanan Spektor to serve as the rabbi of Slabodka, a position he accepted and held until his death. He was one of the founders of the Knesset Beit Yitzchak Yeshiva in the town and its manager until his death.
After his death, Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein was appointed the rabbi of Slabodka.
Rabbi Eliyahu Chaim Meisel (1821-1912) was known already in his youth as a genius. At the age of none, he started learning at the Volozhin Yeshiva with Rabbi Yitzchak of Volzhin. At a young age he was asked to serve as the rabbi of Horodok. In 1877, he was chosen as the rabbi of Lodz, a position he held for more than thirty years, until his death in 1912. In addition to his genius, he was known as a kind, charitable person who was admired by many.
