About Slobodka

Slobodka (Lithuanian Vilijampolė), a suburb of Kovno (Kaunas) in Lithuania, was home to the Knesses Yisrael yeshiva, the flagship Mussar yeshiva of the Lithuanian world. It was led by Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel (the Alter of Slabodka), who built it into a leading institution producing many of the roshei yeshiva and rabbinic leaders of the next generation; in 1925 the Alter and many students moved to Hebron, re-establishing the yeshiva there.
