Grand Rabbi David Yitzchak Eizik Rabinowitz, the third Skolya Rebbe, was born in the Galician town of Skolye (today, Skole, Ukraine). The son of Rabbi Baruch Pinchos, a revered ba’al mofes, the young Rebbe was recognized early on for his deep intellect and thirst for Torah.  Following the outbreak of World War I, the Skolye court fled to Vienna, there the Rebbe married the daughter of R. Dovid Moshe Landau, the Burstyner Rav. The Rebbe was able to find passage out of Nazi Vienna in 1938 first to Switzerland, and from there to America where he settled in New York’s Lower East Side before moving to Williamsburg, and eventually to Boro Park in 1973.  Renowned for his profound piety, Torah scholarship and musical prayer he drew the respect of such major rabbinic authorities as R. Aharon Kotler, R. Moshe Feinstein and the Steipler Gaon. His quiet, personal humility and deep spiritual presence drew many to him until his passing in 1979 (8th Shevat).
