Shlomo Leib Brevda (1931 – January 2013) was an American-born rabbi, inspirational Torah leader and mashpia[1] who authored numerous books. He joined the Mir Yeshiva following its escape from the Holocaust and became a disciple of Rabbi Chatzkel Levenstein, the yeshiva's mashgiach ruchani.[2][3] In the 1950s he moved to Israel. Much of Shlomo's writing was about musar and the Vilna Gaon, of whom he was a descendant.[4]: p.39  He was survived by his wife and their "six children, Reb Chaike, Reb Velvel, Reb Aharon, Rachel Altusky, Frume Yasolvsky and Estie Druk."[2]
