Yehuda Leib Gordin (1853–1925) was a Polish rabbi, a gaon and Hebrew scholar.
[3] The Chicago Daily Tribune wrote that Gordin was internationally renowned within Orthodox Judaism and was known as one of its foremost Hebrew scholars.
[5][6] A third son, Morris Gordin,[7] became a Communist Party member,[8] later converting to Christianity.
[9] His eldest daughter, Bluma,[10] mother to David Raziel, emigrated to Palestine in 1914.
[11] In the last years of the rabbi's life, he led the Tifereth Zion congregation in Chicago, the rabbinical training school (Beth Hamedrash L'Horah), and the city's orthodox rabbinical association as the chief rabbi of the city.
