He developed a unique method of Talmudic analysis which became renowned throughout the yeshiva world as the Telzer Derech.
[1][2] He was born in the town of Luokė, Lithuania,[3] and studied under rabbis Meir Simcha of Dvinsk, Yisroel Salanter, and Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor.
He was known for his shiurim (lectures) in Halakha (Jewish law) and his chakira (intensive investigation) into each subject he taught.
In each chakira, he would present to his students the two opposing viewpoints and teach them how to dissect each argument point-by-point,[2] developing their acuity and analytical skills.
[2] Three volumes of Rabinowitz's Talmudic lectures have been published by the Telshe yeshiva in Cleveland, under the title Chiddushei Rabbi Chaim MiTelz.
