Netivot Shalom
1911 CE–2000 CE · Modern · Jerusalem
R. Sholom Noah Berezovsky (1911-2000) was the seventh Slonimer Rebbe and the author of Netivot Shalom — one of the most widely-read modern Hasidic mussar works and a foundational text for contemporary Lithuanian-Hasidic spiritual seekers. Born in Baranovich into the Slonim Hasidic dynasty, he survived World War II hidden in monasteries and rebuilt the Slonim community in Israel.
His Netivot Shalom — a Torah-cycle and holiday-cycle commentary with a distinctly contemporary register — speaks to the modern religious crisis of meaning in a way that has resonated across denominational lines: it is read in Litvak yeshivot, by Modern Orthodox laypeople, and across the Hasidic world. He founded the Yeshivat Sons of Israel network and led the Slonim community in Jerusalem until his death.
