Rav Chaim Volozhin told Reb Dovid Tevel, mechaber of the sefer Nachalas Dovid, “That the day will come when the pillars of European Jewry will topple, when the yeshivos will be destroyed and uprooted. However they will be reborn in the exile of America, the final stop of the Jewish people before the arrival of Moshiach. The American exile will be the tenth and final exile, following those of Babylon, North Africa, Egypt, Italy, Spain, France, Germany, Poland and Lithuania.”
Rav Aryeh Z. Ginsburg shlita writes about this in the Feldheim book “Daring to Dream” under “The story of Rav Dovid Leibowitz and Yeshivas Rabbeinu Yisroel Meir HaKohein”.
