  Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin (נפתלי צבי יהודה ברלין also known as Reb Hirsch Leib Berlin, 1817- 10 August 1893) was a rosh yeshiva ("dean [of a] yeshiva") of the Volozhin yeshiva and author if several works of rabbinic literature in Lithuania.
A son from his first marriage, Rabbi Chaim Berlin, became the rabbi of Moscow, a daughter married Rabbi Refael Shapiro, and his son from his second marriage was Rabbi Meir Berlin (later Bar-Ilan).
Rabbi Berlin had a traditionalist approach to Torah study that was at odds with the highly analytical style of lomdus ("learned intellectual analysis") that was pioneered by Soloveitchik.

 Reb Chaim HaQoton: April 2006
The Netziv, Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin (1817-1893, Rosh Yeshiva in Volozhin), whose son was the namesake of Bar Ilan University in Israel, and Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Kalischer (1795-1874) were early supporters of Pre-Zionism, before Zionism was formally established as a movement.
A son of Rabbi Kook, Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook (1891-1982) added the Messianic element to the Jewish settlement of Israel.
However, the Netziv (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda of Berlin, 1817-1893) records an opinion (Ha’emek Sheilah ad loc.) that only in monetary laws are dreams irrelevant, but in laws of ritual, they are very much relevant.

The Rashbam's assumption is that the above verse (47:27) is a positive portrayal of the condition of the people of Israel in Egypt.
This assumption is supported by the Netziv's (Rabbi Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin, Lithuania, 1817-1893) interpretation of the opening verse of our parsha: "Jacob lived seventeen years in the land of Egypt so that the span of Jacob's life came to one hundred and forty-seven years" (47:28).
His deepest commitments lie elsewhere, in the land of Israel, in the covenant of his forefathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.

Rabbi M. Miller in his Shabbath Shiurim cites a series of questions raised by the Netziv, Rav Naftali Zvi Yehuda Berlin (1817-1893), Rosh Yeshiva of Velozhin, with regard to the Golden Calf.
Clearly, asks the Nitziv, since only 3,000 people were killed, these 3,000 (an approximate ratio of one of 200) must have been the guilty ones among the 600,000 people, who were actually involved in the sin.
