Baruch Mordechai Ezrachi (27 March 1929 – 26 October 2023) was an Israeli Haredi (ultra-orthodox) rabbi, and a leader of the non-Hasidic Lithuanian Jews.[1] He was the Rosh Yeshiva (dean) of Ateres Yisrael in Bayit Vegan in Jerusalem,[2] and a member of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah from the Degel HaTorah faction.[3][1][4]

Ezrachi was the son-in-law of Rabbi Meir Chodosh.[5] In 1976, he started a yeshiva in Bayit Vegan called Ateres Yisroel which he moved to Modi'in in 1979.

He died on 26 October 2023, at the age of 94.[6]
