== Early Life and Education == Rabbi Ben Tzion Shem Tov was born on 16 Cheshvan 5662 in the city of Druya to his father Rabbi Katriel and mother Batya. He studied at the Tomchei Temimim Yeshiva in Poltava from 1915 until 1925. Rabbi Ben Tzion excelled in his studies and was among the outstanding students. The Previous Rebbe wrote about him: "Ben Tzion is a scholarly young man, God-fearing, with exceptional talent in both revealed and mystical Torah study, knowledgeable in Talmud and many laws in Yoreh Deah and Choshen Mishpat, and great achievements in Torah study were predicted for him." He married Mrs. Esther Golda (who passed away on 23 Cheshvan 5724/1964), sister of the renowned mentor Rabbi Mendel Futerfas.
