Rabbi Baruch Dov Povarsky, often referred to as Rabbi Berel Povarsky, is rosh yeshiva of one of the two divisions of the Ponevezh Yeshiva in Bnei Brak, Israel.

He served alongside Rabbi Gershon Edelstein in this role until the latter's death on 30 May 2023.

[4] When he was three months old, the family moved to Baranovich where R' Dovid became a teacher in Yeshiva Ohel Torah-Baranovich[3] and joined its affiliated kollel.

During this period, Baruch Dov learned in the city's local cheder.

However, shortly after becoming rosh yeshiva in Ponevezh, R' Dovid brought his son to learn there.
