Moses Leib Of Sasov
Rabbi Moshe Yehudah Leib Erblich, popularly known as Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sassov, was one of the early Hasidic rebbes in 18th century Europe. He was the first rebbe of the town of Sasiv ( yi, סאַסעוו, Sassov), and the founder of the Sassov Hasidic dynasty. Biography Rabbi Moshe Leib of Sassov was born c. 1745 in either Sasiv or Brody to Rabbi Yaakov and Rivkah Erblich. Although his father held the views of the ''misnagdim'', Moshe Leib studied under Rabbi Shmelke of Nikolsburg, one of the great hasidic rebbes in the early years of Hasidism, who was one of the foremost students of the prominent Hasidic master, the Maggid of Mezritch. He later went on to study under the Maggid of Mezritch himself as well as Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk. He was a contemporary of Hasidic rebbes Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, the Kozhnitzer Maggid, and the Chozeh of Lublin. After a stint in Opatów, Rabbi Erblich moved to Sasiv where he established the hasidic court of Sassov, which att ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hasidic
Hasidism, sometimes spelled Chassidism, and also known as Hasidic Judaism (Ashkenazi Hebrew: חסידות ''Ḥăsīdus'', ; originally, "piety"), is a Jewish religious group that arose as a spiritual revival movement in the territory of contemporary Western Ukraine during the 18th century, and spread rapidly throughout Eastern Europe. Today, most affiliates reside in Israel and the United States. Israel Ben Eliezer, the "Baal Shem Tov", is regarded as its founding father, and his disciples developed and disseminated it. Present-day Hasidism is a sub-group within Haredi Judaism and is noted for its religious conservatism and social seclusion. Its members adhere closely both to Orthodox Jewish practice – with the movement's own unique emphases – and the traditions of Eastern European Jews. Many of the latter, including various special styles of dress and the use of the Yiddish language, are nowadays associated almost exclusively with Hasidism. Hasidic thought draws heavil ...

People From Lviv Oblast
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

18th-century Rabbis From The Russian Empire
The 18th century lasted from January 1, 1701 ( MDCCI) to December 31, 1800 ( MDCCC). During the 18th century, elements of Enlightenment thinking culminated in the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions. During the century, slave trading and human trafficking expanded across the shores of the Atlantic, while declining in Russia, China, and Korea. Revolutions began to challenge the legitimacy of monarchical and aristocratic power structures, including the structures and beliefs that supported slavery. The Industrial Revolution began during mid-century, leading to radical changes in human society and the environment. Western historians have occasionally defined the 18th century otherwise for the purposes of their work. For example, the "short" 18th century may be defined as 1715–1789, denoting the period of time between the death of Louis XIV of France and the start of the French Revolution, with an emphasis on directly interconnected events.

Abraham David Wahrman
Abraham David Wahrman of Buchach (1770 at Nadvirna – 1840 at Buchach) (Hebrew: אברהם דוד מבוטשאטש), was a Galician Talmudist. Biography He began studying Talmud as a boy. When he was ten years old, Zvi Hirsch Karo, the author of ''Neta' Sha'ashu'im,'' chose him as a son-in-law. At the age of twenty, he became the rabbi at Yazlovets. In the ''Jewish Encyclopedia'', Louis Ginzberg and A. Pelginsky dramatically recount his encounter with Hasidism: :The chief event of his life was the struggle awakened in him by the opposition between the Talmud and the Cabala. Unacquainted with the tendencies and modes of life of the Hasidim, Buczacz did not believe in the miracles of their rabbis; and his wife and friends had great difficulty in persuading him to take his sick son to a Hasidic rabbi, Levi Isaac of Berdychev. The latter, however, influenced him to take up the study of the Cabala; but in trying to reconcile these new views—so utterly antagonistic to those of ...
