רבי אליהו חיים מייזל
Rabbi Eliyahu Chaim Meisel
Rav of Lodz
Who he was
Born in Horodok near Volozhin and chief rabbi of Łódź from 1873 until his petirah, remembered above all for pressing the wealthy of the city to build an orphanage, an old-age home, a Jewish hospital and schools — asked once when he would write a sefer, he answered that his seforim were the loan notes he had signed for the poor; his levaya drew well over a hundred thousand people.
