About Grodno (Belarus)
Grodno (Hrodna), a city in western Belarus near the Lithuanian and Polish borders, had a large Jewish community and was a noted center of Lithuanian Torah learning. Until 1939 it was home to the Sha'ar HaTorah yeshiva headed by Rabbi Shimon Shkop, one of the most influential roshei yeshiva of the Lithuanian world, whose analytical method shaped a generation; the yeshiva fled to Vilna at the Soviet occupation while Shkop, too ill to travel, died in Grodno.
