Yehoshua Dovid Povarsky ( Hebrew: יהושע דוד פוברסקי; 1902–1999) was Rosh Yeshiva (dean) of Ponevezh Yeshiva.
Povarsky studied in the Kelm Talmud Torah under Yeruchom Levovitz [1] whom he followed when Levovitz went to work at Mir Yeshiva, [2] where Povarsky was Yechiel Michel Feinstein's roommate. [3]
He married Tzipporah Kreiser, [4] after which he studied under Elchonon Wasserman in Kovno.
Several of his sons became rabbis, including Baruch Dov Povarsky, his successor as rosh yeshiva. [5]
