Yisroel Zev Gustman (1908 - June 10, 1991)[4][5] was a rabbi, and the last Dayan (rabbinic judge) in Vilna during World War II.
After the war he moved to the United States,[6] and was appointed rosh yeshiva at Yeshivas Tomchei Temimim Lubavitch, in Brooklyn, NY,[1] and in 1971 immigrated to Israel, where he established the Netzach Yisroel - Vilna Ramiles Yeshiva[7] in the Rechavia neighborhood of Jerusalem.[1]
On Thursday afternoons he gave an open, high-level shiur in the yeshiva, attended by "Rabbis, intellectuals, religious court judges, a Supreme Court justice and various professors."[1]
