Rabbi Yitzchok Scheiner (born Nov. 5, 1922) is the rosh yeshiva of the Kamenitz yeshiva of Jerusalem.^[1][2]

He was born in the United States to American immigrants from Poland. During the 1940s, he studied at Yeshiva Torah Vodaas under Rabbi Shlomo Heiman. Toward the end of the 1940s, he married a granddaughter of Rabbi Boruch Ber Leibowitz.

During the 1960s, he headed a Yeshiva in Montreux, Switzerland.

After the death of his father-in-law (who was the rosh yeshiva of the Kamenitz yeshiva in Jerusalem), Rabbi Scheiner headed the yeshiva alongside with his brother-in-law. Since the death of his brother-in-law in 1998, Rabbi Scheiner serves as the central rosh yeshiva with his brother-in-law's son at his side. Rabbi Scheiner's two sons and his son-in-law also teach at the yeshiva.

In the 1990s, he became a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah of Degel HaTorah.

His wife died in 2007. He lives in the Kerem Avraham neighborhood in Jerusalem.
