Eliyahu Boruch Finkel

Eliyahu Boruch Finkel (25 December 1947 – March 31, 2008) was an influential maggid shiur (lecturer) at the Mir yeshiva in Jerusalem.

He grew up under the tutelage of his grandfather, Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda, and studied in Talmud Torah Yavneh whose principal, Rav Korlansky was his Uncle through marriage(married to his mother's sister).

Half a year after his bar mitzvah, he moved to the Mir yeshiva and learned in chavrusa (study partner) with Rabbi Chaim Kamil, where he was recognized as an outstanding student.

He would learn with Rabbi Partovitz every day for a few hours, covering all the sugyos of Shas, even those topics not studied regularly in yeshivas.

In recognition of Finkel's tremendous abilities, the roshei yeshiva appointed him to be a maggid shiur at a young age.
