Rabbi Shmuel HaLevi Wosner (1913-2015), author of the Shevet HaLevi, was head of the Chochmei Lublin yeshiva in Bnei Brak, a posek hador of the last generation. He was a student of Rabbi Meir Shapira in Lublin. In 1939 he immigrated to Israel. In 1947, at the Chazon Ish’s initiative, he was appointed rabbi and Av Beit Din of Zichron Meir in Bnei Brak. The Chazon Ish said of him: “In our days 4 amot of halacha can be found by the Rabbi in the Zichron Meir neighborhood.”
