Chaim Zev Malinowitz (1952 – November 21, 2019) was a Haredi community rabbi, dayan (rabbinical court judge), and Talmudic scholar. Fluent in all areas of the Talmud, halakha (Jewish law), and hashkafa (Orthodox Jewish worldview), he was the general editor of the 73-volume Schottenstein Edition of the Babylonian Talmud published by ArtScroll. After immigrating to Israel, he became the rabbi of Beis Tefillah Yonah Avraham, an English-speaking congregation for Anglophone Israeli immigrants in Ramat Beit Shemesh, which he led for 17 years.

Retrieved December 17, 2019. הרב מלינוביץ' סירב להתראיין לכתבה, אך העיר כי הקהילה שלו מאופיינת בכך שחבריה הם "חרדים נורמליים". [Rabbi Malinowitz refused to be interviewed for this article, but he pointed out that his congregation is characterised by its members being "normal Haredim".]
