JUST IN: Rav Chaim Ginsberg, the long standing Rosh Chaburah of Seder Kodshim in Lakewood, will be leaving Lakewood to become a R’M, in the Ponovizer Yeshivah in Bnei Brak, TLS has learned. R’ Chaim, who is known for his fluency in Shas and Poskim, and is a grandson of Rav Yecheskel Levenstein the Mashgiach of Ponoviz and Mir, will head a new Kodshim Chaburah in Ponivitsh. R’ Chaim was offered the position just days ago, sources say.
R’ Chaim will reportedly be leaving Lakewood early next week, to be in Ponoviz for Shvuos, as well as deliver a Shiur there on Shvuos, and will remain in Bnei Brak for his new position. TLS-WN. Photo credit: Lakewood Shopper.
He will be missed. A shud Lakewood did not take advantage of this gaint in our midst by at least offering him a choshuve shteller.
Did this have anything to do with the recent signed agreement making Bnei Brak and Lakewood twin cities??? If so Kudos to Menashe Miller for arranging
This is an amazing thing Rav Chaim is Loved by all
I see why you call yourself “hocker” what shaicus does m. miller have to do with this??????
Reb Chaim is a givaltige baal middos as well we will all miss him
R’Chaim will be greatly missed in Lakewood and we wish him much hatzlacha in this new position
Tzaddik yotzoh min ho’ir yotzoh ponoh, yotzoh zeevoh, yotzoh hadoroh. (Ayin Rashi tchilas Vayetzeh)
A huge Talmid Chochom, who like many others was never recognised for his greatness in Torah, and was linited from growing to his full potential due to “Kinas Sofrim”

Why is this everyones business?
a true Tzaddik that continues to live in the Shaar Hanava-a life of humility & always keeps a low profile & far from Honer.
May Hashem give him continuous Hatzlacha in Bnei Brak
I AM VERY HAPPY FOR HIM
A giant in Torah, yes, in Midos, yes. And we have several such giants in town.
But he is also a giant in Ehrlechkeit, something much more rare. He is non-political, and he will be missed.
What’s that sincere saying we keep hearing from time to time?
“Mir hoben em nisht genuck mechabed gevain”.
Now we are lost cases I can’t believe bmg is letting him go it will be a loss never to forget
We didnt apreciate him, and ponovech relizes who he is and took him. Our loss. He was a rosh hayeshiva without having a yeshiva his whole life
Who will take his place being Baal Tefilla on Yomim Noraim in the Yashan?
#1 well said
#8 good zug
Perhaps we should do tshuva and see if there is anyone else in our midst that is more deserving than what theyre getting
