Rabbi Aharon Sorasky (Hebrew: אהרן סורסקי; surname also spelled Surasky[1] or Sorsky)[2] is a Haredi author in Israel, his specialty being biographies about Orthodox rabbis. He has also written under the pseudonym A. Safran.[3]

Personal life

Rabbi Sorasky was born on April 28, 1940, and is a Slonimer chossid. He began his writing career with the Hamodia and worked for the Netzach publishing company. He has been hired by several Hasidic courts to write biographies about their rebbes.

Praise

Rabbi Hanoch Teller wrote that "for decades, Rabbi Surasky has established himself as the most eminent, reliable and stylistically graceful biographer of our time–perhaps of all time." Rabbi Teller also praises him as a "serious talmid chacham and erudite scholar."[1] Rabbi Simcha Wasserman praised him for his work, Ohr Elchonon, about Rabbi Wasserman's father, saying, "Rabbi Aharon Sorasky, the distinguished author and scholar, gathered and organized the material into a justly acclaimed Ohr Elchonon in Hebrew. Its accurate portrayal of my father's character, accoplishents, and teachings is an eloquent tribute to Rabbi Sorasky's understanding and skill."[4] Rabbi Gedalia Anemer, rosh yeshiva of Yeshiva of Greater Washington, called Rabbi Sorasky's biography on Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam, Lapid HaEsh, "an exceptional work which portrays the life of the great tzadik and his many contributions to Klal Yisrael (the Jewish people)."[5]
