The Gaon &Tzadik Rabbi Avraham Jofen was one of the great Torah disseminators of his generation, a leading disciple and successor of his father-in-law, Rabbi Yosef Yoizel Horowitz, the famed “Saba (Elder) of Novardok”. He studied in the Slutsk and Kobrin yeshivas, as well as under Rabbi Zalman Sender Kahana-Shapira.
Following the passing of the Saba of Novardok in 1919, Rabbi Jofen assumed leadership over the vast Novardok Yeshiva network, In 1941, he escaped Europe via Japan, and in the United States, he reestablished the Beis Yosef-Novardok Yeshiva in New York.
In 1962, he immigrated to Israel, where he continued leading the surviving Novardok disciples until his passing in 1970. He authored "Derech Eitan" (on the Talmud) and "HaMussar VeHaDaas", reflecting the profound ethical teachings of Novardok.
