Rabbi Avraham Yoffen (or Jofen; 1887 - April 19, 1970), also known as "Avraham Pinsker"[1][2] was son-in-law to Yosef Yozel Horowitz, the Alter of Novardok and director of Novardok Yeshiva. He fled to the U.S. at the outbreak of World War II and opened a yeshiva in Borough Park. In 1962 he moved to and founded a Kollel in Jerusalem.[3]

Bais Yosef yeshiva

Yoffen supervised a network of satellite yeshivas in pre-World War II Poland and Ukraine, all named Yeshiva Bais Yosef. He used this name for the yeshiva he founded

in Borough Park.[4]

In Europe, for a while, Yoffen had the assistance of Rabbi Gershon Liebman.

Biography

Rabbi Yoffen was arrested by the Russian government[5] in 1921, along with some of his students. Two years later he went back to Poland.[1]

He was buried on Har HaMenuchot among numerous famous rabbis.
