R. Yitzchak Hillel Bisko (1880-1960), student of the Radin yeshiva. Founder of the Tiferet Bachurim movement, which included hundreds of branches throughout Europe and beyond. He was one of the supporting pillars of Kollel Kovno, and travelled on its behalf to the Netherlands, England and the United States. He later immigrated to the U.S., where he founded Kollel Kovno (one of the first Kollelim for young Torah scholars in the United States). The Kollel later relocated to Lakewood, N.J., where it was joined by a yeshiva – Beth Medrash Govoha led by R. Aharon Kotler.
