Shimon Yehuda Shkop (Hebrew: שמעון שקופ; 1860 – October 22, 1939) was Rosh Yeshiva (dean) of the Yeshiva of Telshe, and later of Yeshiva Shaar HaTorah of Grodno. Having innovated a style of Torah study, ^[1] applying both to Halacha and to Talmud, he was widely regarded as a major Talmid Chacham (Talmudic scholar).
