R' Yechiel Yitzchak Perr

Rabbi Yechiel Yitzchak Perr is an American-born rabbi and the founder and rosh yeshiva of the Yeshiva of Far Rockaway.

Perr married Shoshana Nekritz, the great-granddaughter of the Alter of Novardok, Rabbi Yosef Yozel Horwitz. It was after his marriage that Perr came into contact with the Novardok tradition. His teachings reflect this influence and revolve around the Alter’s work.

Rabbi Perr (and his students) had a huge influence on my life. This drawing will be added to my personal collection but prints are available.
