About Slutsk
Slutsk, a town in central Belarus south of Minsk, was a major center of Lithuanian Torah scholarship. Its yeshiva was founded in 1897 by Rabbi Yaakov Dovid Willowski (the Ridvaz), then rav of the town, with students drawn from the Slabodka yeshiva; Rabbi Isser Zalman Meltzer served as rosh yeshiva and, from 1903, as rav of Slutsk for about two decades, joined by his son-in-law Rabbi Aharon Kotler. After World War I the yeshiva relocated to nearby Kletsk under Rabbi Kotler.
