He is the [[rosh yeshiva]] of the [[Ponevezh Yeshiva]], which is located in the Israeli city of [[Bnei Brak]]. == Life story == Rabbi Povarsky was born in the city of [[Kletsk]] in the [[Second Polish Republic]]; his father was Rabbi [[Dovid Povarsky]]. When he was three months old, he and his family moved to the city of [[Baranavichy]], which was in the same country; this was because his father was becoming a teacher in the yeshiva of Rabbi [[Elchonon Wasserman]]. When he was ten years old, his entire family moved to [[Mandatory Palestine]] (present-day [[Israel]]), where he attended several schools before joining the [[Ponovezh Yeshiva]], the school where his father was appointed [[rosh yeshiva]]. At that point, Baruch Dov was still a student. In 1954, after he got married, he became a teacher in the yeshiva, and later he became the rosh yeshiva.<ref>{{cite web |title=Make the Torah Sweet |url=https://hamodia.com/frominyan/make-torah-sweet/ |website=Hamodia.com |access-date=2020-08-23 |archive-date=2020-11-16 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201116083438/https://hamodia.com/frominyan/make-torah-sweet/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> == References == {{Reflist}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Povarsky, Baruch Dov}} [[Category:1931 births]] [[Category:Israeli rabbis]] [[Category:Living people]]
