About Kaunas (Kovno)
Kaunas (Yiddish Kovno), the second city of Lithuania, was a major center of Jewish religious and cultural life. Rabbi Yitzchak Elchanan Spektor served as its chief rabbi from 1864 until his death in 1896, becoming one of the foremost halachic authorities of his era; the Kovno Kollel was named for him, and its suburb of Slobodka housed the famous Knesses Yisrael Mussar yeshiva. Kaunas was also the birthplace of the Talmud scholar Louis Ginzberg.
