Meir HaLevi Chodosh (alternatively transliterated as Meir Chadash;[1] Hebrew: מאיר הלוי חדש; 19 February 1898 - 6 January 1989)[2] was the mashgiach of the Hebron Yeshiva and a leading mussar disseminator in the 20th century.[3]
Chodosh was a talmid muvhak (primary disciple) of Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel (often referred to as the "Alter (elder) of Slabodka").[4] His strength was described as "adaptation and modification" of the Alter's teachings to "the nascent yeshiva world of Eretz Yisroel" both before and especially "after the war".[5]
