the writings of Rav Simcha Zissel Ziv, the Alter of Kelm. His son-in-law Rav Yisroel Chaim Kaplan, former rosh yeshiva in Brisk, Lithuania, came to America and served as rosh yeshiva in Beth Medrash Elyon in Monsey, NY. Ten of his talmidim convened to open Yeshivas Beis HaTalmud. Reb Leib Maalin served as the rosh yeshiva until his passing when the leadership of the yeshiva was passed to Chaim Wysoker. After R' Chaim's passing, many other Rabbanim tried becoming Rosh Yeshiva, resulting in Rabbi Katz, a Patterson talmid, being there today.
