For four hundred years Vilnius was the Jerusalem of the North, seat of the Vilna Gaon and one of the densest Talmudic cities on earth. The Rabbi bench runs at better than thirteen times the baseline — the ghost of that lost yeshiva world — while a Basket cluster and a Chess count not far behind reflect the postwar reinvention around the Žalgiris sports complex, a Baltic capital of six hundred thousand punching far above its weight on both hardwood and board.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Vilnius during each.
