Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik’s maternal grandfather was Hayyim Volozhin, the disciple of the Vilna Gaon, who founded the great yeshiva in Volozhin. And his brother, Isaac Zev Soloveitchik, was the father of a rabbinical dynasty. That dynasty began with Isaac Zev’s son, Joseph Dov Soloveitchik (the Beit ha-Levi), who was the father of Hayyim Soloveitchik (the Brisker Rav), who was the father of the next Isaac Zev Soloveitchik (Velvele Brisker) and Moses Soloveitchik (a distinguished rabbi who emigrated from Volozhin to Khislavishi to Warsaw to New York, where he taught at Yeshiva University), who was the father of Joseph Dov Baer...

Elijah Zvi Soloveitchik’s commentary on the New Testament, particularly the Gospels, offers a unique intersection of Jewish and Christian texts. This work emphasizes the importance of Soloveitchik's insights into the relationship between Hasidism and Christianity. The book serves as a comprehensive exploration of Soloveitchik’s writings, contextualizing his interpretations within both Jewish and modern Christian perspectives.
