Editing Rabbi Pinchas Hirschprung (section)

== Life History ==
Born in the town of Dukla in 1912 to his father, Rabbi Chaim, who was the son-in-law of Rabbi David Tzvi Zahman. He studied Torah with his grandfather and later became a distinguished student of Rabbi Meir Shapiro, the genius of Lublin. During that period, his teacher Rabbi Shapiro testified that he knew 2,200 pages of Talmud by heart.

When he reached bar mitzvah age, he published his first work "Pri Pinchas," and afterward began editing the monthly journal "Ohel Torah," which contained Torah insights from the scholars of his time. Rabbi Shapiro appointed him at that time to test new students who came to study at the Chachmei Lublin Yeshiva where he learned. To serve as an examiner at the yeshiva required vast knowledge. The entrance exam included testing on 400 pages of Talmud with commentaries.

During World War II, he managed to escape the Holocaust. He successfully crossed the border to the Soviet-controlled area in Lithuania. He began a journey to Kobe, Japan through Siberia, and remained in Shanghai. In 1941 he arrived in Canada.

He described his tribulations in his memoirs published in 1935. There he was appointed as Rabbi of the "Adas Yeshurun" community in Montreal and head of the "Mercaz HaTorah" Yeshiva. Later he was appointed director of the Rabbinical Council and head of the Montreal Beit Din, Canada, as well as Chief Rabbi of Canada.

Rabbi Hirschprung was one of the few survivors among Polish rabbis. He was considered one of the greatest experts of our generation in Talmud and Jewish law, which he knew by heart. This was in addition to his sharp understanding in learning, which was expressed in the depth of his sermons and insights. Nevertheless, he was a humble person who took no credit for himself. He pursued peace, was charitable, and was faithfully involved in his community's needs.

The third part of the book Vayoel Moshe written by the Satmar Rebbe was written to him.
