Biography
Early life
Rabbi Yogel was born in Pieski, Russia (currently in the Masty District, Belarus) in 1874 or 1875. [1] [2] [3] He studied first in the Kibbutz HaPerusim in Eišiškės (Eishishok) [1] before going to learn in the Volozhin Yeshiva under the tutelage of Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin and Rabbi Chaim Soloveitchik. [2] He then went on to marrying Liba, the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer Yosef Kletzkin of Slonim, [1] and settled in the city, where he joined the local kollel founded by Rabbi Yosef Yozel Horowitz. [2]
Rabbinic career
In 1905, Rabbi Yogel became rosh yeshiva of the Slonim Yeshiva, a yeshiva ketana (yeshiva for younger teenagers) [2] that had been established in the city in the early nineteenth century. [4] As rosh yeshiva, he brought in Rabbi Dovid Bender to serve as menahel (principal), [2] as well as his son, Rabbi Peretz Yogel, who helped him in running the yeshiva. [5] Under his leadership, the yeshiva saw significant growth [2] with its student body numbering between 125 and 175 students in the 1920s. [5] He was also involved in the World Agudath Israel. At the outbreak of World War II, Rabbi Yogel fled to Vilnius and from there, [1] in 1941, to Ramat Gan in Palestine, where he reestablished his yeshiva. [4] In addition, he opened a Bais Yaakov, a cheder, and a kollel, and served on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. [2] He remained at the head of the yeshiva until his death in January 1957. [1]
