Dov Ber Abramowitz (1860 – 1926) was an American Rabbi and author.
Born in Vabalninkas, Kovno Governorate, Russian Empire, (today part of Lithuania), he moved with his family to Jerusalem in 1870, at the age of ten. After being ordained by Rabbi Shmuel Salant, he served as a district rabbi in Jerusalem. In 1894, he immigrated to the United States. A few years later he was appointed as the chief dayan of St. Louis. He was one of the founders of the Aggudas Harabbinim. He formed the first branch of Mizrachi in the United States in St. Louis and served as president of the American Mizrachi.
He died in Jerusalem, Mandate Palestine. His grandson was Abraham Leon Sachar - a historian and founding president of Brandeis University. Like most people of that time in the US - his children and/or grandchildren strayed due to many factors.
Here is a nice shtikel Torah he wrote in a journal he edited in 1903 when he lived on Eldridge street on the Lower East Side. He would have been delighted to know that he was מכוון to what the יד רמ"ה writes.
