Personal life
Dessler was born in 1921 in Kelm to Rabbi Eliyahu Eliezer & Bluma Dessler. His mother Bluma was a granddaughter to Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv and Dessler was named after Rabbi Simcha Zissel Ziv's son. In 1929 the family moved to London and Dessler was sent to Yeshivah Etz Chaim. Three years later he returned to Wilkomir in Lithuania to learn.[3]
gollark: I could add colors and occasionally muck up the formatting slightly, have each sentence get its own header saying "Section 1, Clause 3" or something, maybe even have JS on the page subtly edit it as you scroll down!
gollark: It would actually support line wrapping, as well as Unicode, italic/bold/strikethrough, headers, external links, that sort of thing.
gollark: The current privacy policy viewing experience is honestly quite bad, so I think it could be way nicer if it opened in people's browsers.

gollark: Actually, there would be an RSS feed but it would only contain individual characters.
