Rabbi Yechezkel Roth was known as the Karlsburger Rav.[2] He was the author of Emek HaTeshuvah (nine volumes: Chezkas Taharah Hilchos Niddah, Emek Shmaatsa Gemara, Chazon Yechezkel on Drush, Mishpat Ha’aretz on Shmittah, Keren HaTorah Ribbis, Mai Chanukah on Hilchos Chanukah) and other works.[3]

In March 2016 he was hospitalized after a

Hatzolah rushed to the scene and did all they could to save his life but he died at around 8:30AM.[7]

Biography

Roth was the leader of a venerated Bais Horaah in

Poskim in the world.[7]

After many years of living in Israel, he emigrated to the US, where he eventually became recognized as one of the great Diaspora poskim.[7] Years later, he began dividing his time between New York and Israel, where he would seclude himself for weeks on end in Meron in the spiritual shadow at the most famous for the tomb of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai.[7]

In 1972, the

Satmar community.[7]

Roth soon acquired a reputation as one of the most prominent

Shulkhan Arukh, responding in lucid, understandable terms. His piskei halachah are studied and analyzed in batei medrash l’hora’ah throughout the world, and some of his responses to personal status and family issues have ended months and even years of halachic debate where other dayanim were unwilling to take responsibility for such sensitive rulings.[8]
