Yaakov Eliezer Schwartzman Explained

Yaakov Eliezer Schwartzman is an Orthodox Jewish rabbi and rosh yeshiva of the Lakewood East yeshiva in Ramot, Jerusalem, Israel.[1]

He is the son of Rabbi Dov Schwartzman, the eldest grandson of Rabbi Aharon Kotler,[2] the son-in-law of Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe,[3] and the great-grandson of Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer. Schwartzman was one of the main forces behind the Haredi ban of Rabbi Nathan Kamenetsky's Making of a Godol (notwithstanding Rabbi Kamenetsky being a cousin of Schwartzman's wife and a former teacher of Schwartzman). His brother, Rabbi Zevulun Schwartzman,[4] was the Rosh Kollel of Etz Chaim Yeshiva.
