Gedalyahu HaLevi Schorr (27 November 1910 – 2 July 1979; 7 Tammuz 5739),[1] also known as Gedalia Schorr, was a prominent rabbi and rosh yeshiva. He was called the "first American Gadol" (Torah giant) by Rabbi Aharon Kotler.[2] Rabbi Meir Shapiro, the rosh yeshiva of Chachmei Lublin, remarked that Rabbi Schorr had the most brilliant mind he ever encountered in America, and one of the most brilliant in the entire world.[1] He said this when Rabbi Schorr was only nineteen years old.
