 HaRav Ezra Binyomin Schochet shlita (known as HaRosh) was born in Switzerland on Chof Daled Adar Beis 5703 to HaRav Dov Yehuda Schochet and Rebbetzin Sarah Shasha. His father was a profound gaon in Torah who maintained his diligent learning even during the difficult years of World War II.
-After the war, the mishpacha moved to The Hague, Holland, where his father served as the temporary rov of the kehilla. In 5711, the family immigrated to Toronto, Canada. Following a remarkable miracle that occurred to one of his sisters through the Rebbe's brocha, the entire mishpacha became mekushar to Chabad Chassidus. Young Ezra Binyomin then transferred to learn in the central Yeshivas Tomchei Tmimim at 770.

 During his younger years, he became particularly close to HaGaon HaRav Aharon Kotler, who learned with him b'chavrusa during his time in Lakewood, and to HaGaon HaRav Meshulam Dovid Soloveitchik during his years in Yeshivas Brisk.
