Reb Velvel was born in 1886 in Volozhin. After his father passed away in 1918 he became Rav of Brisk [1]. During the Second World War he escaped and reached Eretz Yisroel, settling in Yerushalayim [1].
The shiurim in Yerushalayim
There he gave shiurim to a small circle of select students, in his father's derech [1]. His novellae, "Chiddushei Maran Riz HaLevi", were published on the Rambam and on the Torah. He was known for great stringency and care in every detail of halacha.
