Soloveitchik

Soloveitchik (Hebrew: סולובייצ'יק Yiddish: סאָלאָווייטשיק) (also Soloveichik) is a surname. The name is a diminutive form of the Russian word соловей, "nightingale", since the Soloveitchiks are a family of Levites, who are commanded by the Torah to sing in the Beit Hamikdash. It is notably the name of a rabbinic family descended from Yosef Dov Soloveitchik (Beis Halevi) (1820-1892). Members include:

  • Ahron Soloveichik (1917–2001)
  • Avraham Yehoshua Soloveitchik
  • Bar Soloveychik (born 2000), Israeli swimmer
  • Berel Soloveitchik (1915–1981)
  • Chaim Soloveitchik (1853–1918)

  • Haym Soloveitchik (born 1937), American

  • Yitzchok Zev Soloveitchik (1886–1959)
