It is likewise known that our holy Rebbe greatly extolled the immense virtue of those who draw close to him and fulfill his holy counsel. Rebbe Nosson and the other great figures of Anshei Shlomeinu in every generation also spoke abundantly in praise of those who merited to shelter in the shade of his holiness and of his holy disciples and to walk in his ways. I therefore resolved to go and gather, from books and from their authors, the names of all the disciples of Rabbeinu and the known disciples of his disciples, so that they might be remembered forever, and to record briefly whatever is known to us of their lives. I hereby make known that I have not come to relate their praises, to describe the magnitude of their toil in Torah and avodas Hashem, or the intensity of the obstacles that rose against them, and so forth - matters that no pen could fully recount. My purpose is only to place markers concerning their periods, their places, their family histories, and their ancestral homes, for I saw that great confusion surrounds these matters and that the information is scattered throughout the writings and letters of Anshei Shlomeinu. Heaven forbid that a reader judge their greatness or righteousness according to how much or how little is written here about them. Many of them - including great figures of the world and mighty men of Torah and yirah - are known to us only by name. Let it also be known that despite much labor, effort, searching, and examination over a long period, to the extent that my weak hand could reach, many matters remain without absolute clarification. Surely names and details are missing that escaped me or for which I found no source in the writings of Anshei Shlomeinu. In order that the reader may know and may examine the original material more broadly, I have given at the end of every entry its written and epistolary sources, from everything printed to date by Anshei Shlomeinu. Only in isolated places where I was unable to clarify the matter have I presented my own view as a possibility or reasonable inference. ## Segment 175 This first part includes members of Anshei Shlomeinu who passed from the world through the early 5680s, and almost all of them are members of Anshei Shlomeinu from Russia or among the first to establish their homes in Eretz Yisrael. In the second part, which with Hashem's help I hope to collect, arrange, and publish, will be included members of Anshei Shlomeinu who passed away from 5680 until the present. Most will be from Poland and Eretz Yisrael, including those who were killed al kiddush Hashem during the years of wrath, 5700-5705, may Hashem avenge their blood. It will also contain supplements and corrections to this part. ## Segment 176 This is also the place to express thanks to all the members of Anshei Shlomeinu who assisted me, helped clarify various details, and offered counsel - especially the Meshech HaNachal association, which graciously placed at my disposal the manuscript of HaSichos VeHaSippurim, a work it intended to publish and which illuminated my eyes, and which also undertook the labor and burden of bringing this book to print. May it be Hashem's will that the merit of our holy Rabbeinu and his holy disciples stand for them, for us, and for all their descendants, that we may engage, according to Rabbeinu's path, in Torah and avodah all our days, with serenity and abundance. ## Segment 177 Thus writes Noach HaLevi Sternfeld ## Segment 178 The holy city of Meron, may it be rebuilt and established ## Segment 179 19 Menachem Av 5744 - August 17, 1984 ## Segment 180 Yahrzeit of our teacher Reb Naftali, of blessed memory, disciple of Rabbeinu ## Segment 181 Source Abbreviations ## Segment 182 Only sources that recur frequently are included here; therefore they are cited in abbreviated form. ## Segment 183 Abbreviation ## Segment 184 Source and citation method ## Segment 185 א״א ## Segment 186 Emunas Uman - letter number. ## Segment 187 אבב״ר ## Segment 188 Avaneha Barzel - page number. ## Segment 189 אי״ש ## Segment 190 Der Otzar fun Yiras Shamayim (Yiddish) - volume and page. ## Segment 191 חיי״מ ## Segment 192 Chayei Moharan - section number in the vocalized edition. ## Segment 193 טו״ז ## Segment 194 Tovos Zichronos - page number. ## Segment 195 ימה״ת ## Segment 196 Yemei HaTlaos - page number. ## Segment 197 יממ״א ## Segment 198 Yemei Moharanat, Part I - section number in the vocalized edition. ## Segment 199 יממ״ב ## Segment 200 Yemei Moharanat, Part II - section number. ## Segment 201 כו״א ## Segment 202 Kochvei Or - page number. ## Segment 203 כו״פ ## Segment 204 Kaftor VaFerach - page number in the edition bound with Sippurei Maasiyos. ## Segment 205 מבה״נ ## Segment 206 Mabuei HaNachal - issue and page. ## Segment 207 מכתבים ## Segment 208 Letters of Rebbe Nosson at the end of Alim LiTerufah and in Emunas Uman - letter number. ## Segment 209 מרי״ש ## Segment 210 Letters of Reb Yitzchok Sternhartz, son of Rebbe Nosson, at the end of Alim LiTerufah - date of letter. ## Segment 211 נ״א ## Segment 212 Nachalei Emunah - letter number. ## Segment 213 נ״צ ## Segment 214 Naveh Tzaddikim - page number. ## Segment 215 נת״צ ## Segment 216 Nesiv Tzaddik - letter number. ## Segment 217 סינ״פ ## Segment 218 Sippurim Niflaim, including Sichos VeSippurim - page number. ## Segment 219 על״ת ## Segment 220 Alim LiTerufah - letter number or date. ## Segment 221 שא״י ## Segment 222 Sheeris Yisrael - letter number. ## Segment 223 שיח׳ ## Segment 224 Sichos HaRan - section number. ## Segment 225 השוה״ס ## Segment 226 HaSichos VeHaSippurim.

His youth was spent in Medzhibuzh. In approximately 5545 [1785], he married Mrs. Sashia, daughter of Rabbi Ephraim, and was supported at his father-in-law's table in the village of Husiatyn until 5550 [1790]. From 5550 through 5559 [1790-1799], he lived in Medvedivka, where many people, including some from distant places, drew close to him. In the summer of 5559 [1798], he journeyed to Eretz Yisrael and remained there from the eve of Rosh Hashanah 5559 until shortly before Pesach 5560 [1800]. From Elul 5560 he lived in Zlatipolia until Elul 5562, when he moved to Breslov; at that time Rebbe Nosson also drew close to him. ## Segment 231 During his years in Breslov, he made several long journeys. In 5567 [1807], he traveled to Novoritch, Ostroh, and Zaslav. Mrs. Sashia, his first wife, died, and in Elul of that year he married his second wife, a daughter of the wealthy Rabbi Yechezkel Trachtenberg; that journey lasted approximately half a year. After Sukkos 5568 [1808], he traveled to Lemberg and remained there until mid-summer. On 4 Iyar 5570 [May 8, 1810], he left Breslov and entered Uman the following day. He lived there until 18 Tishrei, the fourth day of Sukkos 5571 - October 16, 1810 - the day on which the Ark of G-d was taken and the light of Yisrael, our honored Rebbe, departed. He was buried in peace the following day, the fifth day of Sukkos, in Uman - the city he had chosen during his lifetime as his burial place, for that is the place prepared for him from the Six Days of Creation, to engage there in the rectification of the world throughout the generations, and so forth (the words of Rebbe Nosson, יממ״א, sec. 66). ## Segment 232 His sons, Reb Shlomo Ephraim and Reb Yaakov, and his daughter Feiga died while still young. His daughters were Adel, wife of Reb Yosef (Yoska), son of the holy rabbi of Khmelnik; Sarah, wife of Reb Yitzchok Isaac, son of Rabbi Leib of Dubrovna; Miriam, wife of Reb Pinchas, son of the holy rabbi of Volochisk; and Chaya, wife of Reb Zalman, son of Rabbi Yaakov Yosef. His works include Likutay Moharan, Sippurei Maasiyos, Sefer HaMiddos, Sichos HaRan, Chayei Moharan, and other writings whose light we did not merit to enjoy (see Naveh Tzaddikim, pp. 37-84). ## Segment 233 Main Biographical Register ## Segment 234 The biographies remain ordered by the initial letter of the given name, as in the source. ## Segment 235 Letter Alef (א) ## Segment 236 Reb Abba, the Shochet of Tcherin ## Segment 237 ר' אבא שו"ב מטשעהרין ## Segment 238 One of the men devoted to avodas Hashem among Rabbeinu's disciples.(a) He was the son-in-law of Reb Eliyahu, the rabbi of Tcherin.(b) For Rosh Hashanah 5570 [1809], he traveled with his son Reb Shmuel to Rabbeinu. Because of the obstacles encountered on the way, he was forced to sell his belongings, including a gold goblet that he had intended to bring as a gift to Rabbeinu. During the evening meal, Rabbeinu turned to him and said: “How can I thank you for the journey? In this world, it is no longer worthwhile.” Rabbeinu then turned to his son Shmuel and said: “And you, Shmuel, take some of the soup.” When they returned home, Reb Abba passed away, while his son Reb Shmuel became exceedingly wealthy.(c) Despite Reb Abba's extreme poverty—he did not even possess special clothing for Shabbos—he was among the greatest servants of Hashem among Rabbeinu's followers.(d)(a) כו״א, 33. (b) שמה״צ. (c) אבב״ר, 48. (d) מבה״נ, 4:56. ## Segment 239 Reb Abba, the Shochet of Tzfas ## Segment 240 ר' אבא שו"ב מצפת ## Segment 241 Rebbe Nosson mentions him while describing his stay in Tzfas in 5582 [1822], on Friday night of Parashas Pinchas: “I danced joyfully with Reb Abba the shochet and Reb Moshe Yonah” (יממ״ב, 155). ## Segment 242 Reb Abba of Tcherin ## Segment 243 ר' אבא מטשעהרין ## Segment 244 He was known among Anshei Shlomeinu as Reb Abba'le. His full name was Reb Avraham Abba Rabinowitz. He was the son of Reb Shmuel, son of Reb Abba; a disciple of Rebbe Nosson; and a close friend of Reb Avraham Dov, Rabbeinu's grandson. Despite his great wealth, he fled honor to the utmost and served Hashem with fervor. He assisted Rebbe Nosson to the full extent of his ability in publishing work, and generously supported the poor of Anshei Shlomeinu and their settlement in Eretz Yisrael. In the summer of 5629 [1869], he visited Eretz Yisrael together with Reb Nachman, the rabbi of Tcherin, and Reb Yaakov son of Reb Tzvi. His first wife passed away in 5636 [1876], and children were born to him in his old age from his second wife. His son was Reb Shmuel, born in his old age. His son-in-law from his first marriage was Reb Avraham Yevin. He passed away in 5639 [1879]. Since he had no sons who could recite Kaddish for him, Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya recited Kaddish on his behalf. ## Segment 245 Sources: כו״א, 35; סינ״פ, 137; נת״צ, 7, 20, 32; נ״א, 4–5; על״ת, 250, 285, 287, 289, 320, and elsewhere; מרי״ש, 6 Sivan and 3 Eikev 5629; השוה״ס; מבה״נ, 4:58, 47:52, 56:44. ## Segment 246 Reb Abba ## Segment 247 ר' אבא ## Segment 248 A grandson of Reb Chaim Krasinstein, he lived together with his grandfather in Tzfas. He is mentioned in letters written in 5636 [1876] by Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya (נת״צ, 39, 11). ## Segment 249 Reb Abba Katzman ## Segment 250 ר' אבא כצמאן ## Segment 251 A member of Anshei Shlomeinu in Breslov, he sent money every year to Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah, who lived in Tverya. He immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Yerushalayim. In 5641 [1881], he moved to Tverya because he wished to live near the aforementioned Reb Nosson. In Tverya he became gravely ill and was bedridden for a long time.(a) In 5642 [1882], he moved to Tzfas.(b) He is mentioned many times in the letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya.(c)(a) נת״צ, 61. (b) Ibid., 87. (c) Ibid., 128 and elsewhere. ## Segment 252 Reb Avraham ## Segment 253 ר' אברהם ## Segment 254 He was the son-in-law of Reb Pinchas Yehoshua and the father of Reb Getze. He lived in Revutsk. The residents of his town esteemed him greatly and regarded him as one of the thirty-six hidden tzaddikim. He earned his livelihood as a synagogue attendant. Before Anshei Shlomeinu, he would speak with great pride of his son Reb Getze (השוה״ס). ## Segment 255 Reb Avraham Weinberg ## Segment 256 ר' אברהם ויינברג ## Segment 257 The father of Reb Shmuel Weinberg. Together with his son, he gave substantial assistance to Rebbe Nosson and Anshei Shlomeinu during the controversy and persecutions of 5595–5599 [1835–1839] (על״ת, 168, 172, end of the letter). ## Segment 258 Reb Avraham Yevin ## Segment 259 ר' אברהם ייבין ## Segment 260 The son-in-law of Reb Abba son of Reb Shmuel of Tcherin. His father-in-law once rebuked him for not coming to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, saying that even had they come only to hear Reb Nachman of Tulchin lead the prayers, it would have been sufficient.(a) His son was Reb Nachman Yevin.(a) סינ״פ, 137. ## Segment 261 Reb Avraham Litvak ## Segment 262 ר' אברהם ליטוואק ## Segment 263 He possessed writings recording what he had heard from Reb Nachman of Tulchin, including the collection Seder Avodas HaYom from Reb Nachman of Tulchin (Nachalei Emunah, 1). ## Segment 264 Reb Avraham Payes ## Segment 265 ר' אברהם פייעס ## Segment 266 Before drawing close to Rabbeinu, he was an unattractive man. He had a son named Chaim, for whom he arranged a match with a daughter of Reb Yisrael, a grandson of the Baal Shem Tuv.(a) One of Rabbeinu's wonders involved him and his business partner, Moshe Chinkis.(b) He was an expert mohel. At the circumcision of Moshe Chinkis's son, when he saw that the rabbi of Tomashpil—who had been honored with performing the periah—was unskilled and was causing the infant great pain, he pushed him aside and performed the periah himself. This became one of the causes that inflamed the controversy. Although he regularly visited Rebbe Nosson and helped support him, he also traveled to the rabbi of Savran. He passed away in 5594 [1834].(c)(a) כו״א, 61, 45; see the full account there. (b) כו״א, 44. Moshe Chinkis, also called Moshe BehaRav, was among the wealthy men of Breslov and one of Rabbeinu's important associates and supporters. After Rabbeinu's passing, he took Rabbeinu's grandson Reb Avraham Dov as a son-in-law. Owing to pressure from his family and other causes, he became an opponent and persecutor of Rebbe Nosson; through him the famous controversy of 5595–5599 [1835–1839] erupted. His daughter received a bill of divorce from Rabbeinu's grandson. He passed away in 5598 [1838]. See חיי״מ, 29; כו״א, 43, 45, 60; סינ״פ, 10; אבב״ר, 51–52; ימה״ת, 3–40. (c) ימה״ת, 6–8. ## Segment 267 Reb Avraham of Uman ## Segment 268 ר' אברהם מאומאן ## Segment 269 A prominent person who possessed decorations of honor from the Russian Imperial Crown. During the controversy of 5595–5599 [1835–1839], he could not bear to witness the torment inflicted on upright people. He wrote to the rabbi of Savran, warning him not to come to Uman again. He also intimidated the opponents and warned them not to harm Rebbe Nosson's followers in any way, until Anshei Shlomeinu could live there securely (ימה״ת, 21). It is possible that he was the Reb Avraham in whose home Rebbe Nosson sometimes lodged while in Uman, as mentioned in יממ״ב, 21, 24. ## Segment 270 Reb Avraham of Novosheletz ## Segment 271 ר' אברהם מנאוושעליץ ## Segment 272 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu's disciples.(a) At the end of the winter of 5582 [1822], Rebbe Nosson visited his home with a group of younger men, and he prepared a large meal for them. During the meal, Rebbe Nosson explained the lesson “VaEschanan” (Likutay Moharan II, 78), greatly reviving all those present. He was the brother of Reb Leib of the village of Sibitiv.(b) ## Segment 273 Reb Avraham of Petersburg ## Segment 274 ר' אברהם מפעטרבורג ## Segment 275 He was also known as Reb Avraham of Berdichev. A disciple of Rabbeinu, he wrote down Rabbeinu's Torah teachings before Rebbe Nosson drew close; wherever the phrase “in the wording of the companions” appears, it is from his formulation. Rabbeinu instructed him to become receptive, but he refused. He therefore became somewhat distant and spent a period in Petersburg. From there he wrote to Rabbeinu that he was afraid for the Jewish spark within him. Rabbeinu said that the very fact that he was afraid was itself giving him strength to remain steadfast. He later returned to Rabbeinu and wished once again to record the lessons, but by then Rabbeinu had already entrusted Rebbe Nosson with writing them.(a) He was a profound chassid, although he lacked clear expression in writing.(b) He engaged in commerce and was knowledgeable and well versed in worldly affairs.(c) He lived to an advanced age.(d)(a) Sichos VeSippurim in the introduction to Biur HaLikutim; חיי״מ, 151, 590; כו״א, 38; אי״ש, 7:211. (b) נ״צ, 27. (c) אבב״ר, 79; see there.

He is a poor and destitute man who prays loudly and with fervor; therefore the people of the Odessa beis midrash have pushed him away, and he wanders without a home, and so forth. They also say that he is insane. In truth, he does have somewhat unusual movements, but I had faith in him and immediately regarded him as an upright man.

He came originally from Zaslav and later settled in the village of Ossiatyn near Medvedivka. He enjoyed a good reputation among all the renowned tzaddikim, who would lodge with him, for he was a person of great importance.(a) Around 5545 [1785], Rabbeinu married his daughter, Mrs. Sashia. Reb Efraim's wife—Rabbeinu's mother-in-law—was also a very upright woman. Rabbeinu ate at his table until she died. Reb Efraim then married another woman, who did not treat Rabbeinu properly and wished to take the room that had been set aside for Rabbeinu's avodas Hashem; Rabbeinu then left his table.(b) ## Segment 395 At first Reb Efraim did not recognize Rabbeinu's greatness. Later, through several events, he came to know the overwhelming magnitude of Rabbeinu's greatness and holiness.(c) He passed away before 5565 [1805].(d) His son was Reb Tzvi.(e)(a) חיי״מ, 105.

On one occasion, an opponent posed a question against Rabbeinu, and Reb David demonstrated that the question arose from the man's inadequate learning. Reb David was very wealthy and an extraordinary Torah genius. He was a brother-in-law of Reb Mordechai, the dayan of Teplik, and raised Reb Mordechai's son Reb Avraham in his home.

His only consolation was a son who was born to him, but the child died in 5604 [1844], and his wife subsequently died as well.(c) Rebbe Nosson supported him at his own expense and often strengthened and encouraged him in his letters. A great Torah scholar, he left no surviving sons.(d)(a) מבה״נ, 2:35. (b) על״ת, 178, 422. (c) Ibid., 422.

The opponents hired him for money to murder Reb Pinchas of Kiblitch, because Reb Pinchas had brought many local youths close to Rabbeinu's teachings. When he came to carry out his plan, however, he heard a few words from Reb Pinchas and thereby became a complete baal teshuvah. He lived the rest of his life in repentance. His copy of Likutay Tefillos was always wet with tears, and all his days he occupied himself with Torah, prayer, and charity.(a) He died old and full of days in 5681 or 5682 [1921 or 1922], in a home for the elderly in Haisyn.(b)(a) כו״פ, 208; see the full account.

(b) על״ת, 224. (c) This appears from נת״צ, 110. (d) על״ת, 273. ## Segment 993 Reb Yisrael of Nemirov ## Segment 994 ר' ישראל מנעמירוב ## Segment 995 One of Rabbeinu's followers. On one occasion, after asking Rabbeinu's advice, he traveled to a certain place and there brought a wealthy man named Hecht to repentance. He later recalled that before his journey Rabbeinu had hinted to this by saying: “With a small fish one can catch a large fish”—a hecht being a large species of fish (כו״א, 58; see there for the complete account of how he sought Rabbeinu's counsel and what Rabbeinu replied). ## Segment 996 Reb Yisrael, a Grandson of Rabbeinu ## Segment 997 ר' ישראל נכד רז"ל ## Segment 998 He was born in Kremenchug in 5567 [1807] to his father Reb Yitzchok Isaac and his mother Mrs. Sarah, daughter of Rabbeinu.(a) On Rosh Hashanah 5571 [1810], when he was approximately three or four years old, he was with Rabbeinu in Uman; Rabbeinu asked the child to pray for his recovery.(b) In 5579 [1819], he married a daughter of the holy Reb Aharon of Chernobyl, and Rebbe Nosson and the leading members of Anshei Shlomeinu attended the wedding.(c)(a) חיי״מ, 151. (b) Ibid., 439; see the full account. (c) יממ״ב, 6; ימה״ת, 46. ## Segment 999 Reb Yisrael ## Segment 1000 ר' ישראל ## Segment 1001 Rebbe Nosson mentions him in 5603 [1843]. It appears that he worked together with Reb Nachman of Tulchin on publishing matters (על״ת, 402; omissions, 14). ## Segment 1002 Reb Yisrael HaKohen of Tirhovitz ## Segment 1003 ר' ישראל הכהן מטירהאוויצע ## Segment 1004 A son of Reb Chaim the carpenter and a son-in-law of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya. In his youth, he was a member of the household of Reb Naftali, Rabbeinu's disciple. Once, on a snowy day, he came to Rabbeinu's gravesite. Finding it locked, he remained outside to pray. Another member of Anshei Shlomeinu who arrived saw a mound of snow moving; to his astonishment, Reb Yisrael replied: “And when I reach Gan Eden and find it locked, should I simply leave?”(a) ## Segment 1005 He was a great servant of Hashem and wondrously proficient in Shas. Every year he completed Shas, the Zohar, Shulchan Aruch, Midrashim, and more. He was known as a wonder-worker. He passed away in 5682 or 5683 [1922 or 1923] at over eighty years of age. His son was Reb Nachman, who is to be discussed in Part II.(b)(a) מבה״נ, 19:74, 51–52:13. (b) השוה״ס. He is also mentioned in the letters of his father-in-law: נת״צ, 3, 10, 16, 33, and elsewhere. ## Segment 1006 Reb Yisrael son of Reb Yehudah HaLevi Heilperin of Kardon ## Segment 1007 ר' ישראל ב"ר יהודה הלוי היילפרין מקארדאן ## Segment 1008 He drew close to Rabbeinu's teachings in 5649 [1889] while still very young and endured immense persecution and obstacles from his family and townspeople.(a) He traveled to Uman to pray at Rabbeinu's gravesite and from there to Reb Nachman, the rabbi of Tcherin, who drew him close, spoke with him for several days, and then sent him to Reb Moshe Breslover, a disciple of Rebbe Nosson. From then on, Reb Moshe became his foremost teacher.(b) ## Segment 1009 Together with Reb Shimshon Barsky, he founded the Anshei Ma'amad yeshivah in Uman.(c) From 5661 through 5663 [1901–1903], he printed many works of Rabbeinu and his disciples in Lemberg. He then immigrated to Eretz Yisrael,(d) living at different times in Yerushalayim, Tverya, Tzfas, and Meron. In Eretz Yisrael, he continued printing the works of Rabbeinu and Anshei Shlomeinu with even greater vigor. He founded a beis midrash in Yerushalayim in Rabbeinu's name, and in Tzfas and Meron established the “Rising at Midnight” society of Anshei Shlomeinu. ## Segment 1010 Wherever he went, he drew many people close to Rabbeinu's teachings, and all who were broken in body or spirit found refuge with him. From Eretz Yisrael he traveled several times to Uman for Rosh Hashanah, visiting many gatherings of Anshei Shlomeinu along the way. In the summer of 5674 [1914], he returned to Eretz Yisrael for the last time and did not leave again before his passing in 5679 [1918]. A son and daughter were born to him in Eretz Yisrael, but both died in childhood; he left no surviving children. ## Segment 1011 His resting place is in Tverya. His gravestone reads: “Here lies Reb Yisrael Breslover son of Reb Yehudah Leib. Died 9 Cheshvan 5679 [October 15, 1918]. May his soul be bound in the bond of life.”(a) א״א, 31. (b) Yikra DeChayei, 158. (c) נ״צ, 202. (d) He appears to have settled in Eretz Yisrael at the beginning of 5664 [1903–1904], since he printed in Lemberg in 5661–5663 and in Yerushalayim in 5664–5673. See Yikra DeChayei, 158; on his publishing work, Neveh Tzaddikim; his letters and letters to him in א״א, 27–41, and שא״י, 32, 34; see also השוה״ס. ## Segment 1012 Reb Yisrael son of Reb Yitzchok Pitcherer ## Segment 1013 ר' ישראל ב"ר יצחק פיטשעריר ## Segment 1014 A follower of Rebbe Nosson, mentioned in Rebbe Nosson's letters from 5595 [1835] (על״ת, 168). ## Segment 1015 Reb Yisrael son of Reb Nachman ## Segment 1016 ר' ישראל ב"ר נחמן ## Segment 1017 A son of Reb Nachman of Tulchin and a younger brother of Reb Avraham son of Reb Nachman. He was known as Reb Yisrael Bul. He was present when Reb Alter of Teplik was murdered in 5679 [1919]. He lived in Teplik and earned his livelihood in commerce. Near the end of the revolutionary years, the Bolsheviks murdered him. He left G-d-fearing and upright sons (השוה״ס; מבה״נ, 71:106). ## Segment 1018 Reb Yisrael, the Shochet ## Segment 1019 ר' ישראל שו"ב ## Segment 1020 One of Rabbeinu's followers and an exceptionally accomplished scholar.(a) Because of stringencies he observed in the laws of shechitah, he traveled to consult all the great sages of the generation, including Rabbeinu. Rabbeinu told him: “Then who should be a shochet—someone who has no fear?”(b) Rabbeinu once said that his own clever ideas would drive him away, for although he was a great scholar, he sometimes studied through pilpul and arguments that were unsound. He had five sons, all disciples of Rabbeinu. Two are known to us: Reb Reuven Yosef, and Reb Avraham, father of Reb Nachman of Tulchin.(c)(a) אבב״ר, 86. (b) מבה״נ, 16:53; introduction to Biur HaLikutim. (c) השוה״ס; אי״ש, 7:61. ## Segment 1021 Reb Yisrael HaKohen ## Segment 1022 ר' ישראל הכהן ## Segment 1023 He is mentioned in a letter of Rebbe Nosson from 5587 [1827]: “Two delights of the eye, beloved and pleasant, have been taken from us... the veteran Reb Yisrael HaKohen, of blessed memory, and his distinguished veteran brother-in-law Reb Asher Zelig, of blessed memory. Woe to us for our calamity...” (על״ת, omissions, 2 Eikev 5587; see also סינ״פ, 145). He appears to be the Reb Y. HaKohen mentioned in 5582 [1822] in יממ״ב, 71. ## Segment 1024 Reb Yisrael of the Village of Stapashik ## Segment 1025 ר' ישראל מכפר סטאפאשיק ## Segment 1026 One of the great members of Anshei Shlomeinu in the time of Reb Nachman of Tulchin. Reb Pinchas of Kiblitch found lodging and refuge in his home for a time and taught his grandchildren. Reb Yisrael prayed with dveikus and spiritual arousal (כו״פ, 208). ## Segment 1027 Reb Yisrael Kitzis of Tulchin ## Segment 1028 ר' ישראל קיציס מטולטשין ## Segment 1029 He is mentioned in letters from 5628 [1868] written by Reb Yitzchok son of Rebbe Nosson (מרי״ש, 5 Re'eh 5628). ## Segment 1030 Reb Yisrael Aryeh son of Reb Tzvi of Tzfas ## Segment 1031 ר' ישראל אריה ב"ר צבי מצפת ## Segment 1032 He is mentioned in letters from 5639 [1879] by Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya: “Thank G-d, for the past four weeks Reb Yisrael Avraham Sofer has begun coming to me every Motzaei Shabbos. I speak with him extensively about Rabbeinu and have also studied several of Rabbeinu's lessons with him. Thank G-d, there is someone with whom to speak about Rabbeinu, of blessed memory” (נת״צ, 30, 42). ## Segment 1033 Reb Yisrael Aryeh son of Reb Tzvi of Tzfas ## Segment 1034 ר' ישראל אריה ב"ר צבי מצפת ## Segment 1035 A brother of Reb Nosson Trubitzer of Tzfas. He is mentioned in letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya, who calls him “one of the precious members of Anshei Shlomeinu.”(a) In 5642 [1882], he was gravely ill.(b)(a) שא״י, 18, 19. (b) נת״צ, 96, 14, 18, 126. ## Segment 1036 Reb Yisrael Chaim ## Segment 1037 ר' ישראל חיים ## Segment 1038 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson's letters from 5595 [1835] (על״ת, 1 Shoftim 5595). ## Segment 1039 Reb Yisrael Leib of Bohopolia ## Segment 1040 ר' ישראל לייב מבאהפוליע ## Segment 1041 One of Rebbe Nosson's important disciples, an upright tzaddik who prayed with strength and fervor. He wished to move to Uman, but Reb Nachman of Tulchin opposed the plan. Once they met at Rabbeinu's gravesite, and Reb Yisrael Leib wanted them to present their arguments before Rabbeinu. Reb Nachman immediately walked outside and refused to discuss the matter at all. Reb Yisrael Leib's son was Reb Asher (השוה״ס; see also אבב״ר, 80, with a somewhat different version). ## Segment 1042 Reb Yisrael Mendl son of Reb Shimshon ## Segment 1043 ר' ישראל מנדל ב"ר שמשון ## Segment 1044 A son of Reb Shimshon, a disciple of Rebbe Nosson; a son-in-law of Reb Efraim, Rabbeinu's grandson; and the father of Reb Shimshon Barsky of Uman, who is to be discussed in Part II (מבה״נ, 43:24). That source, citing his grandson Reb Nosson Barsky, appears to imply that he was one of Rebbe Nosson's foremost disciples. This is doubtful: as late as 5592 [1832], his father Reb Shimshon still had no sons (על״ת, 81). Even if he was born in 5593, he would not yet have been twelve when Rebbe Nosson passed away in 5605 [1844]. ## Segment 1045 Reb Yisrael Nachman Sofer ## Segment 1046 ר' ישראל נחמן סופר ## Segment 1047 He is mentioned incidentally in an account of his son, who once came to Rebbe Nosson's home to inspect the mezuzos. The account implies that both Reb Yisrael Nachman and his son belonged to Anshei Shlomeinu (אבב״ר, 63). ## Segment 1048 Letter Lamed (ל) ## Segment 1049 Reb Levi Yaakov ## Segment 1050 ר' לוי יעקב ## Segment 1051 During the controversy of 5595 [1835], Rebbe Nosson wrote: “Please write to me what has become of each and every person... and also of Reb Levi Yaakov...

In his youth, he was drawn into the Haskalah. Through a wondrous event that happened to him, he turned back. Anshei Shlomeinu said that this was due to the many tears shed by his father. He lived in Teplik, attained old age, and passed away in 5682 or 5683 [1922 or 1923] (השוה״ס; see there). ## Segment 1055 Reb Litman of Breslov ## Segment 1056 ר' ליטמאן מברסלב ## Segment 1057 During the controversy of 5595 [1835], Rebbe Nosson wrote: “And greetings... to Reb Litman and his brother Reb Yankel. They too ought to regret what they did against me; nevertheless, I have hoped in Hashem that everything will be set right, and the covenant of our love and peace will never be broken” (על״ת, 168). ## Segment 1058 Reb Leib of Sibitiv ## Segment 1059 ר' לייב מסיביטיב ## Segment 1060 A brother of Reb Avraham of Novosheletz. Rebbe Nosson was at his home in 5582 [1822], prayed Shacharis and ate there, and afterward Reb Leib traveled with him to Tcherin (יממ״ב, 44). ## Segment 1061 Reb Leibele of Bratslav ## Segment 1062 ר' לייבלי מבראהליב ## Segment 1063 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson's letters from 5601 [1841]: “Reb Leibele of Bratslav, who was a son-in-law of Reb Yaakov, son-in-law of Yudel, is now in my home. He has only recently arrived here, having not been here for five years. Remember well what is happening in the world with each and every person,” and so forth (על״ת, 300). In Shemos HaTzaddikim he is called Reb Aryeh of Bratslav. ## Segment 1064 Reb Leib son of Reb Chaikel ## Segment 1065 ר' לייב ב"ר חייקיל ## Segment 1066 A son of Reb Chaikel the chazzan, a disciple of Rabbeinu. Rebbe Nosson mentions him in 5582 and 5601 [1822 and 1841] (יממ״ב, 44; על״ת, omissions). ## Segment 1067 Reb Leibele of Tirhovitz ## Segment 1068 ר' לייבלי מטירהאוויצע ## Segment 1069 Rebbe Nosson mentions him in 5580 [1820]. He appears to have belonged already to Rabbeinu's followers (יממ״ב, 13). ## Segment 1070 Reb Leib of Tirhovitz ## Segment 1071 ר' לייב מטיהאוויצע ## Segment 1072 A brother of Reb Sender of Tirhovitz; he apparently drew close together with him in 5614 [1854] or later. Once, on Purim, he grasped his beard and said: “This beard has been clean of improper thought for twenty-five years” (מבה״נ, 3:52). ## Segment 1073 Reb Leibele ## Segment 1074 ר' לייבלי ## Segment 1075 A relative by marriage of Reb Nachman Chayale's, Rabbeinu's grandson; his son was Reb Nachman's son-in-law (מכתבים, 18, from 5603 [1843]).

He may be one of the other men named Reb Leib listed here. ## Segment 1076 Reb Leib of Dubrovna ## Segment 1077 ר' לייב מדאבראוונא ## Segment 1078 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu's disciples(a) and the father of Reb Yitzchok Isaac, Rabbeinu's son-in-law. He lived in Kremenchug, concerning which Rabbeinu once said: “The four amos of the mechutan are clean.”(b) Rabbeinu sent him greetings in his letters,(c) and Rebbe Nosson mentions him several times.(d)(a) כו״א, 33. (b) מבה״נ, 35:67. (c) Rabbeinu's letters at the beginning of על״ת. His name appears to have been Reb Yehudah Aryeh, since Rabbeinu once calls him Reb Yehudah Leib and another time Reb Aryeh Leib. (d) חיי״מ, 59, 246; יממ״ב, 13, 52. ## Segment 1079 Reb Leib After ## Segment 1080 ר' לייב אפטר ## Segment 1081 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu's disciples.(a) He served as a teacher in the home of Reb Leib of the village of Vatshek.(b)(a) כו״א, 33.

Rabbeinu's second wedding was held in his home in 5567 [1807]. Near the end of his life he was desperately poor; nevertheless, in his extreme hardship he deprived himself and donated a Sefer Torah to the beis midrash in Uman. His son-in-law was Reb Zalman the rabbi (כו״א, 59; see the full account; השוה״ס). ## Segment 1088 Reb Leibush of Nemirov ## Segment 1089 ר' לייבוש מנעמירוב ## Segment 1090 When Rebbe Nosson and Reb Naftali traveled to Rabbeinu for the first time, in Elul 5562 [1802], Reb Leibush joined them (אבב״ר, 9). ## Segment 1091 Reb Leibush, Brother of Rebbe Nosson ## Segment 1092 ר' לייבוש אח מהרנ"ת ## Segment 1093 He is mentioned in Avaneha Barzel, p. 70. ## Segment 1094 Reb Leib of Konstantin ## Segment 1095 ר' לייב מקאסטאנטין ## Segment 1096 It is unknown whether he knew Rebbe Nosson or how he drew close to Anshei Shlomeinu. He served as chazzan in his town on the Days of Awe and did not come to Uman for Rosh Hashanah until 5611 [1851], when he brought Reb Isaac Eisenstein close. One of the important members of Anshei Shlomeinu in his time, he drew many people close to Rabbeinu's teachings. Beginning in 5611, he led Musaf in Uman on the second day of Rosh Hashanah; after the death of Reb Nachman of Tulchin in 5644 [1884], he also led Musaf on the first day.

Likewise, the statement in section 220, “There is no Rosh Hashanah greater than this,” was said concerning him when he failed to come for Rosh Hashanah because he had traveled to Odessa to trade in esrogim.(c) It is unknown whether, after Rabbeinu's passing, he maintained a connection with Rebbe Nosson.(a) אבב״ר, 5; כו״א, 30.

Reb Meir had no sons, and Rabbeinu promised him a male child whom he should name Nachman, so that his name would be the same as Rabbeinu's: Nachman son of Feiga (כו״א, 46; see the full account). ## Segment 1321 Reb Nachman son of Reb Moshe Krasinstein ## Segment 1322 ר' נחמן ב"ר משה קראסינשטיין ## Segment 1323 A son of Reb Moshe Henia's, a disciple of Rabbeinu, and a son-in-law of Reb Aharon, the rabbi of Breslov.

His son was Reb Isaac Krasinstein, who is to be discussed in Part II (אי״ש, 2:169).

Orphaned as a youth, he was raised in Rebbe Nosson's home; in his old age Rebbe Nosson chose him to sleep nearby.(a) He was near Rebbe Nosson at the time of his passing.(b) Once, people told Rebbe Nosson that a certain man possessed an impressive countenance. Rebbe Nosson replied: “My dark one has a more beautiful countenance,” referring to Reb Nachman son of Reb Ozer, who was dark-complexioned and outwardly lacked an impressive appearance.(c) His resting place is in Teplik.(a) מבה״נ, 50:32; אבב״ר, 88, see there. (b) Letter of Anshei Shlomeinu concerning Rebbe Nosson's passing. (c) השוה״ס. ## Segment 1333 Reb Nachman son of Reb Pesach HaKohen ## Segment 1334 ר' נחמן ב"ר פסח הכהן ## Segment 1335 Known as Reb Nachman Pesach'le's. He was among those most closely and intensely attached to Rebbe Nosson.(a) After Rebbe Nosson's death, he regarded himself as worthy to lead Anshei Shlomeinu and began to conduct himself in the manner of a public chassidic leader. His conduct displeased almost all of Anshei Shlomeinu and, over time, his position faded away on its own. Apart from this, however, he was truly a chassid and a G-d-fearing man.(b) Reb Avraham Sofer, who is to be discussed in Part II, knew him and stayed with him for a considerable time; he would describe his great fear of Heaven and how every word he spoke was with trembling and awe.(c) Reb Nachman visited Eretz Yisrael.(a) טו״ז, 140. (b) אבב״ר, 91. (c) מבה״נ, 35:34. ## Segment 1336 Reb Nachman son of Reb Tzvi of Marienovka ## Segment 1337 ר' נחמן ב"ר צבי ממארייאניווקע ## Segment 1338 A brother of Reb Nosson Trubitzer of Tzfas.

(b) כו״א, 69. He must be distinguished from Reb Nachman son of Reb Shechna, known as Reb Nashke Tulchiner, who was killed in 5701–5702 [1941–1942] and is to be discussed in Part II. ## Segment 1345 Reb Nachman son of Reb Shmuel Spielband ## Segment 1346 ר' נחמן ב"ר שמואל שפילבאנד ## Segment 1347 A foremost disciple of Rebbe Nosson. He was a son of Reb Shmuel of Teplik and a son-in-law of Reb Nesanel HaKohen of Teplik, both important disciples of Rabbeinu.

In 5639 [1879], he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael with his father and settled in Tzfas; that same year he married in Tzfas (נת״צ, 24, 36). ## Segment 1354 Reb Nachman of Breslov ## Segment 1355 ר' נחמן מברסלב ## Segment 1356 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson's letters from 5597 [1837] (על״ת, 218). ## Segment 1357 Reb Nachman of a Village Near Uman ## Segment 1358 ר' נחמן מכפר הסמוך לאומאן ## Segment 1359 His parents were childless, and Rabbeinu promised that through him they would merit offspring. After Rabbeinu's passing, they prayed at his gravesite, and this son was born; they named him after Rabbeinu. When he grew older, he was summoned for military conscription. He went to Rabbeinu's gravesite and wept there extensively; a miracle occurred and he was released from military service (סינ״פ, 11; see the full account). ## Segment 1360 Reb Nachman of Dzhirin ## Segment 1361 ר' נחמן מדזירין ## Segment 1362 A member of Anshei Shlomeinu in the period after Rebbe Nosson. Although one of the wealthy and important men of his city, he was a wholehearted man who served Hashem with temimus and simplicity (השוה״ס; see there for an incident involving him and Reb Nosson son of Reb Nachman, son of Rebbe Nosson). ## Segment 1363 Reb Nachman Fittel ## Segment 1364 ר' נחמן פיטיל ## Segment 1365 The first husband of the woman who later became the wife of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya. His sons were Reb Avraham Ber and Reb Aharon. His brothers were Reb Tzvi Gershon and Reb Shimshon. In 5638 [1878], he is mentioned with the blessing “of blessed memory” (נת״צ, 15). ## Segment 1366 Reb Nachman of Uman ## Segment 1367 ר' נחמן מאומאן ## Segment 1368 In 5643 [1883], he lived in Tzfas. Letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya mention that he was ill and staying in a hospital. He is called “the elder from Uman” (נת״צ, 137, 138, 139, 151). ## Segment 1369 Reb Nissan son of Reb Kalman of Breslov ## Segment 1370 ר' ניסן ב"ר קלמן מברסלב ## Segment 1371 A disciple of Rebbe Nosson. During the controversy of 5595 [1835], he spent a full day in detention (על״ת, 175). ## Segment 1372 Reb Nissan, a Relative of the Rabbi ## Segment 1373 ר' ניסן קרובו של הרב ## Segment 1374 A member of Anshei Shlomeinu in Rebbe Nosson's time. A letter from 5603 [1843] mentions that he had been at Rabbeinu's gravesite with other members of Anshei Shlomeinu (מכתבים, 16). He may be the Reb Nissan in the preceding entry. ## Segment 1375 Reb Naftali of Nemirov ## Segment 1376 ר' נפתלי מנעמירוב ## Segment 1377 Reb Naftali Hertz son of Reb Yehudah Weinberg.(a) He was among the choicest and most outstanding disciples of Rabbeinu. He was Rebbe Nosson’s friend, contemporary, and fellow townsman, and together with him drew close to Rabbeinu in Elul 5562 [1802]. From then onward he did not depart from Rabbeinu’s tent. A very great number of Rabbeinu’s conversations and teachings are cited by Rebbe Nosson in Reb Naftali’s name; he is mentioned hundreds of times in Rebbe Nosson’s books, letters, and biography. He was one of the two witnesses whom Rabbeinu designated concerning the recitation of the Ten Chapters of Tehillim at his gravesite.(b) Rabbeinu praised him exceedingly and said of him and Rebbe Nosson, “They are unquestionably diamonds.”(c) He also said, “Only Nosson and Naftali know a little of me.” Rabbeinu entrusted him with the Megillas Setarim, and before his passing he transmitted it to Reb Aharon of Lipovets.(d) He and Rebbe Nosson are regarded as Rabbeinu’s two most outstanding disciples. In 5580 [1820],(e) and again in 5604 [1844],(f) he intended to travel to and settle in Eretz Yisrael, but the plan did not come to fruition. One tradition states that he visited Eretz Yisrael once.(g) After Rabbeinu’s passing he moved from Nemirov to Uman, where he lived near Rabbeinu’s gravesite for nearly fifty years, until his own passing. He died on 19 Menachem Av 5620 and was buried in Uman. Only the following words were engraved on his gravestone: “Here lies the rabbi, Reb Naftali.”(h) His son was Reb Ephraim.(a) כו״א, 110. (b) שיח׳, 141; חיי״מ, 225. (c) Ibid., 333. (d) מבה״נ, issue 56, p. 17. (e) יממ״ב, 13. (f) מכתבים, 8. (g) השוה״ס. (h) Ibid.; see the series of articles about him in מבה״נ, issues 56–57, p. 16, and issue 58, p. 17. ## Segment 1378 Reb Naftali the Elder ## Segment 1379 ר' נפתלי הישיש ## Segment 1380 He is mentioned in letters of Reb Yitzchok, son of Rebbe Nosson, from 5629 [1869]: “I duly received the kvittel of our distinguished elderly friend, Reb Naftali, may his light shine, and it gave me satisfaction” (מרי״ש, 4 Lech Lecha 5629, at the end of the letter). I have found no one who knew the identity of this Reb Naftali. ## Segment 1381 Reb Naftali of Breslov ## Segment 1382 ר' נפתלי מברסלב ## Segment 1383 In approximately 5675 [1915], one of the judges of the city of Breslov, who had been a fierce opponent of Anshei Shlomeinu, died. The members of the chevrah kadisha wished to bury him beside Rebbe Nosson; the grave had already been dug and the funeral procession had set out. Reb Naftali—who was G-d-fearing and scrupulous, but also a strong and forceful man—then jumped into the grave and would not permit the opposing judge to be buried there. They were therefore compelled to dig another grave at a distance. Shortly afterward, Reb David Tzvi son of Reb Shechna, a grandson of Rebbe Nosson, was buried in that first place (יקרא דחיי, 154). ## Segment 1384 Reb Naftali of Tzfas ## Segment 1385 ר' נפתלי מצפת ## Segment 1386 A grandson of Reb Ephraim son of Reb Naftali. He is mentioned in letters of Anshei Shlomeinu from Eretz Yisrael in 5637–5639 [1877–1879]. He conducted himself improperly, and there was no domestic peace in his home. Anshei Shlomeinu in Tzfas drew him close; the letters indicate that in the end he returned to the upright path and was reconciled with his wife (נת״צ, 34, 37; שא״י, 6, 7; נ״א, 5). I heard in the name of the elders of Anshei Shlomeinu that he was apparently a son of Reb Simcha David son of Reb Ephraim. ## Segment 1387 Reb Naftali Hertz son of Reb Shechna ## Segment 1388 ר' נפתלי הירץ ב"ר שכנא ## Segment 1389 A son of Reb Shechna, son of Rebbe Nosson. He was born in 5603 [1843] and was a son-in-law of Rabbi Nachman, the rabbi of Tcherin. After his wife died in 5623 [1863], he married a daughter of Reb Shimshon, a disciple of Rebbe Nosson. He visited Eretz Yisrael and was in Yerushalayim, Tverya, and Tzfas; this visit apparently took place between 5635 and 5644 [1875–1884]. He lived in Breslov and died in 5673 [1913]. His son was Reb Avraham Sofer Sternhartz [to be included in Part II] (השוה״ס; מבה״נ, issue 35, p. 30; issue 53, p. 16; issue 54). ## Segment 1390 Our Teacher Rabbi Nosson son of Naftali Hertz Sternhartz [Rebbe Nosson / Moharanat] ## Segment 1391 מורינו ר' נתן ב"ר נפתלי הערץ שטרנהארץ [מהרנ"ת] ## Segment 1392 He was born in Nemirov on 15 Shevat 5540 [1780] to his father, Reb Naftali Hertz, and his mother, Mrs. Chaya Laneh. His conception and birth were attended by great holiness, like those of the great tzaddikim.(a) On Shabbos Nachamu 5553 [1793], he married Mrs. Esther Shaindel,(b) daughter of the gaon and tzaddik Rabbi David Tzvi Auerbach, chief rabbi of Sharograd, Kremenets, and Mohyliv. He was supported at his father-in-law’s table in Sharograd until Sukkos 5556 [1795], and then returned to be supported at his father’s table in Nemirov until after Yom Kippur 5567 [1806]. In Elul 5562 [1802], he drew close to Rabbeinu. During 5567–5568 [1806–1808], he lived in Mohyliv. During 5569–5571 [1808–1811], he again lived in Nemirov. In the summer of 5571 [1811], after Rabbeinu’s passing, he moved to Breslov. During the years of controversy, 5596–5598 [1836–1838], the government exiled him to Nemirov; afterward he returned to Breslov, where he lived until his soul ascended to the supernal treasuries on 10 Teves 5605 [1844]. In the summer of 5582 [1822], with self-sacrifice he traveled to Eretz Yisrael and remained there for approximately five weeks. On Rosh Chodesh Elul 5586 [1826], his first wife died; in Cheshvan 5587 [1826], he married his second wife, Mrs. Dishel. In 5585 [1825], he became afflicted with an intestinal illness from which he suffered until the end of his life.(c) ## Segment 1393 His sons were Reb Shechna, Reb Yitzchok, Reb David Tzvi, Reb Nachman, Reb Yosef Yonah, and Reb Meir, who died in the summer of 5569 [1809] before reaching four years of age. His daughter was Chana Tziril, wife of Reb Baruch son of Reb Shlomo. He also had a stepson and stepdaughter, children of his second wife: Reb Shmuel Shmelke, and Chaya, who married his son Reb David Tzvi. ## Segment 1394 The books he authored are Likutay Halachos, Likutay Tefillos, Shemos HaTzaddikim, Kitzur Likutay Moharan, Likutay Aitzos, Yemei Moharanat, Alim LiTerufah, and the Letters of Rebbe Nosson.(d) All the record of his strength and valor, and everything that befell him in spreading the daas of our holy Rabbeinu, is written in his books and letters and in the works of his disciples and their disciples.(e) In him the verse was literally fulfilled, “He did not depart from within the tent”—the tent of the Torah of Rabbeinu, the Light of Lights. He was truly bound and attached to him with self-sacrifice and complete nullification of personal feeling. All his conversations, stories, and concerns revolved around this one axis: to make known and publicize the greatness, holiness, and exalted stature of Rabbeinu of blessed memory; to make his virtues known to people and spread his wellsprings outward. Rabbeinu himself testified that Rebbe Nosson knew and apprehended something of his greatness,(f) and that were it not for him, not even a single leaf fit for the genizah would have remained of Rabbeinu.(g) He is buried in Breslov.(a) נעימות נצח, 2; see there that his mother was fourteen when she bore him and his father was thirteen and a half, from which it appears that he was their firstborn. His other known siblings were Reb Yosef, Reb Yudel, and Reb Leibush, and he also had several sisters.

He himself was an outstanding disciple of Rebbe Nosson and was accustomed to enter his presence every day. Fearing conscription into the army, he fled to Romania. In 5603 [1843], Reb Nachman of Tulchin met him there and arranged his marriage. He was beside Rebbe Nosson at the time of his passing. He composed Kuntres HaTzirufim, in which he indexed, in alphabetical order, all combinations of letters appearing in Rabbeinu’s books. In approximately 5635 [1875], he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Tverya. For Rosh Hashanah 5637 [1876] and 5642 [1881], he traveled to Uman. From Tverya he wrote hundreds of letters to Anshei Shlomeinu in Tzfas, containing arousal and encouragement to strengthen souls in the paths of Rabbeinu and his disciples. His letters were collected in the book Nesiv Tzaddik. He apparently died near the end of 5644 [1884] and was buried in Tverya. His sons were Reb David, Reb Moshe Ephraim, and Reb Yitzchok. His sons-in-law were Reb Yisrael son of Reb Chaim Stoler, Reb Yehoshua Zaidel, Reb Baruch, Reb Yechiel, Reb Shmuel, and Reb Yitzchok. ## Segment 1398 See the publisher’s introduction to Nesiv Tzaddik; יקרא דחיי, 153; מבה״נ, issues 51–52, p. 7; issue 53, p. 12; issue 54, p. 13; his letters in נת״צ and שא״י, 3–27; also אבב״ר, 71; על״ת, supplements; על״ת, 313. ## Segment 1399 Reb Nosson son of Reb Yosef of Yerushalayim ## Segment 1400 ר' נתן ב"ר יוסף מירושלים ## Segment 1401 A relative of Reb Nosson Trubitzer of Tzfas.

His gravestone reads: “Here lies the rabbinic and chassidic Reb Nosson, son of the honored Reb Yosef of Breslov, who died on 7 Adar II 5657.

Nearly all the letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya collected in Nesiv Tzaddik were addressed to him. In 5669 [1909], together with Reb Yisrael of Kardon, he founded a beis midrash and the “Rising at Chatzos” society for Anshei Shlomeinu in Tzfas. He possessed many manuscripts written by leading members of Anshei Shlomeinu. He died in 5679 [1918] and was buried in Tzfas. His gravestone reads: “Here lies Reb Nosson son of Reb Tzvi of Tirhovitz, bound in the ways of Chassidus to the holy Admor, Rabbi Nachman of Breslov, descendant of the Baal Shem Tov, may his merit protect us. He died on 9 Kislev 5679. May his soul be bound in the bond of life.” His son was Reb Sender [to be included in Part II] (נת״צ, 51, 2; שא״י, 32; א״א, 27). ## Segment 1417 Reb Nosson of Tzfas ## Segment 1418 ר' נתן מצפת ## Segment 1419 A son-in-law of Reb Yekusiel, known as “Reb Yekusiel the Tzaddik.” He is mentioned in a letter of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya from 5636 [1876] (נת״צ, 9). ## Segment 1420 Reb Nosson of Tirhovitz ## Segment 1421 ר' נתן מטירהאוויצע ## Segment 1422 A brother-in-law of Reb Nosson Trubitzer of Tzfas; both were sons-in-law of Reb Shmuel of Tzfas.

She was a daughter of Reb Ephraim of Husiatyn. She married Rabbeinu in approximately 5545 [1785]. In 5559 [1798], when she heard that Rabbeinu was preparing to travel to Eretz Yisrael, she sent their daughter to ask him who would support them. He answered: “You will go to your in-laws; someone will take your older sister into his home as a maidservant; someone will take your younger sister into his home out of compassion; and your mother will become a cook.” When they heard this, they burst into tears.(a) On one occasion she complained to Rebbe Nosson and Reb Naftali that Rabbeinu did not look after himself, that he carried himself about on journeys, and that he had allowed their son, the child Shlomo Ephraim, to pass away.(b) Before Purim 5567 [1807], Rabbeinu traveled to Ostroh and sent from there for his wife to be brought to Dr. Gordon, because she suffered from tuberculosis. She did not wish to accept treatment from Dr. Gordon, however, and instead wanted to travel to the physicians in Zaslav. They came there, and she died on the eve of Shavuos 5567 and was buried there that same day. Rabbeinu stood beside her as her soul departed. He later told Rebbe Nosson that despite the great grief and confusion, he acted and did for her benefit everything that was required.(c)(a) Shivchei HaRan, Account of His Journey to Eretz Yisrael, 6.

Before his return to the path, he was a cloth merchant among frivolous men and lovers of polished speech; afterward he became one of the exceptional members of Anshei Shlomeinu and the head of the fellowship of avodas Hashem in Tirhovitz. In 5625 [1865], he rebuilt the beis midrash in Uman, because the building erected by Rebbe Nosson in 5592 [1832] had already become weak and dilapidated. For a long period he covered the expenses of the beis midrash and the support of Reb Nachman of Tulchin.(a) He generously supported the poor of Anshei Shlomeinu and the members of Anshei Shlomeinu living in Eretz Yisrael.(b) He was a marvelous musician, and several of his melodies remain current among Anshei Shlomeinu to this day.(c) He died in 5638 [1878].(d)(a) מבה״נ, issue 28, p. 38; השוה״ס.

He should not be confused with his nephew, a son of Reb Nosson who was also named Reb Sender Trubitzer and who, with Hashem’s help, will be included in Part II.(a) נ״א, 2. (b) נת״צ. (c) As stated above. ## Segment 1445 Reb Sender ## Segment 1446 ר' סענדיר ## Segment 1447 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5595 [1835] (על״ת, 173). ## Segment 1448 Letter Ayin (ע) ## Segment 1449 Reb Ozer of Uman ## Segment 1450 ר' עוזר מאומאן ## Segment 1451 One of the earliest and most important people to draw close to Rebbe Nosson. He served Hashem with fiery devotion and suffered severe persecution because of his attachment.(a) His trust in Hashem was of an extraordinarily exalted level.(b) His devotion and enthusiasm for Rebbe Nosson exceeded all bounds; Reb Avraham son of Reb Nachman said that it had the aspect of destructive overreaching—the aspect of “he gazed and died.” He apparently died in 5587 [1827],(c) and is buried in Uman.(d) His son was Reb Nachman.(a) כו״א, 33–34; סינ״פ, 139.

(b) Ibid., 80. ## Segment 1455 Reb Ozer of Odessa ## Segment 1456 ר' עוזר מאדעס ## Segment 1457 A son of Reb Yaakov David of Tzfas. His father’s circumstances in Tzfas were extremely straitened. In letters from 5629 [1869], Reb Yitzchok, son of Rebbe Nosson, asked Anshei Shlomeinu to awaken the heart of the son, Reb Ozer, to support his father, for the magnitude of the latter’s privation was beyond description (מרי״ש, 29th day of the Omer; 3 Tavo). ## Segment 1458 Reb Azaryah son of Perel of Tverya ## Segment 1459 ר' עזריה בן פעריל מטבריה ## Segment 1460 A righteous convert who was close to Anshei Shlomeinu in Tverya. In 5636 [1876], he became gravely ill and stayed with Reb Kalman of Tverya, who fed him and attended to all his needs despite his own crushing poverty. Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya likewise assisted Reb Kalman in caring for the convert (נת״צ, 10). ## Segment 1461 Reb Akiva the Melamed of Tulchin ## Segment 1462 ר' עקיבא מלמד מטולטשין ## Segment 1463 He was proficient in the Talmud and poskim, Kabbalah, and Chassidus, but also studied works of philosophical inquiry. Rebbe Nosson drew him close and restored him to the proper path. Because he lacked a livelihood, he later drew close to Rabbi David of Talne, who gave him a rabbinic post in the town of Dabeve near Uman (אבב״ר, 82). ## Segment 1464 Reb Akiva Zev of Nemirov ## Segment 1465 ר' עקיבא זאב מנעמירוב ## Segment 1466 A disciple of Rebbe Nosson and an exceptionally learned man. He drew close through the words he heard from Rebbe Nosson at the meal on the eve of Yom Kippur, which Rebbe Nosson would prolong greatly; many of his disciples were drawn close through that meal.(a) He was with Rebbe Nosson on the final Shabbos before his passing.(b)(a) ימה״ת, 1–2.

In Cheshvan 5565 [1804], he married Mrs. Miriam, daughter of Rabbeinu.(a) In the summer of that same year he traveled to Eretz Yisrael with his father. Rabbeinu did not wish to send his daughter with him, and it nearly came to pass that she would receive a bill of divorce. Afterward, however, Hashem brought matters about so that she herself wished to travel; during Bein HaMetzarim 5569 [1809], she went to Eretz Yisrael with members of the Volochisk rabbi’s family.(b) Reb Pinchas died during the 5570s [1810s], and his wife, Rabbeinu’s daughter, entered into levirate marriage with one of his brothers.(c) He left no surviving children.(d) He is buried in the cave of the rabbi of Volochisk in the cemetery of Tzfas.(e)(a) חיי״מ, 59, 114, 117.

There he became acquainted with Reb Nachman of Tulchin and with Reb Nachman’s son Reb Avraham, who drew him close to Rabbeinu’s daas. Because of his father-in-law’s opposition, he moved to Kiblitch, where he became a melamed and drew dozens of young men close. The opponents persecuted him relentlessly and even hired a man to murder him; yet through his great temimus and trust in Hashem, matters were ultimately arranged so that he could sit with his pupils in Torah and avodas Hashem without disturbance.(a) He died at approximately forty years of age, sometime between 5630 and 5640 [1870–1880].(b)(a) כו״פ, 207. (b) השוה״ס. ## Segment 1486 Reb Pinchas Yehoshua ## Segment 1487 ר' פנחס יהושע ## Segment 1488 A disciple of Rebbe Nosson and a son of Reb Yitzchok Isaac Yosef Sofer, himself a disciple of Rebbe Nosson. Despite his dreadful poverty, he was a great giver of charity.(a) He served Hashem with self-sacrifice and profound understanding; all his words were weighed and measured, without the slightest shadow of uncertainty, Heaven forbid, and he knew all the spiritual incarnations through which he had passed.(b) His sons were Reb Nosson Beitelmacher and Reb Nachman of Kremenchug [to be included in Part II]. His son-in-law was Reb Avraham, father of Reb Getze Libovne. He died during the 5640s [1880s].(c)(a) מבה״נ, issue 37, p. 38. (b) טו״ז, 151.

(b) נ״צ, 41. (c) נ״א, 4. (d) נת״צ, 75, where he is called Reb Pessi; this appears to refer to the present Reb Pesach. ## Segment 1495 Mrs. Perel, Sister of Rabbeinu ## Segment 1496 מרת פעריל אחות רז"ל ## Segment 1497 A daughter of Reb Simcha and Mrs. Feiga. Her uncle, Rabbi Baruch of Medzhibuzh, would always ask her about Rabbeinu’s welfare and health. She attempted to make peace between Rabbeinu and his uncle Rabbi Baruch, but without success.(a) She was married to a man who was not especially sound-minded, and Rabbeinu told her that had she listened to him, he would have commanded her to divorce him immediately.(b) She immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and lived in Tzfas. When Rebbe Nosson was in Eretz Yisrael in 5582 [1822], he met her in Tzfas and refers to her as the widow of Reb Pinchas Meir.(c)(a) אבב״ר, 18; יממ״א, 33, supplements. (b) השוה״ס. (c) יממ״ב, 135, 137. It appears that she indeed divorced her first husband and that Reb Pinchas Meir was her second husband. ## Segment 1498 Reb Peretz ## Segment 1499 ר' פרץ ## Segment 1500 His son, Reb Avraham Leib, was a son-in-law of Reb Shechna, son of Rebbe Nosson.(a) In a letter to him from 5602 [1842], Rebbe Nosson encouraged him to renew his days as of old and come to him for Shabbos Chanukah.(b) He is also mentioned in a letter from 5604 [1844].(c)(a) על״ת, 322, 326.

In 5641 [1881], he was abroad, apparently in Uman. He is buried in Tzfas. His gravestone reads: “Here lies Reb Tzvi Hirsch son of Reb Eliezer, a descendant of the rabbi and chief rabbinical judge of the holy community of Tirhovitz. He died on 26 Menachem Av 5650.” His sons were Reb Nosson, Reb Nachman, Reb Sender, and Reb Yisrael Aryeh (נת״צ, 69, and most of the letters). ## Segment 1505 Reb Tzvi Hirsch, Brother-in-Law of Rabbeinu ## Segment 1506 ר' צבי הירש גיס רז"ל ## Segment 1507 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu’s disciples.(a) He was a son of Reb Ephraim, Rabbeinu’s father-in-law, and a brother of Mrs. Sashia, Rabbeinu’s wife.(b) Once he came to Rabbeinu concerning his livelihood, and Rabbeinu told him, “I have already taken care of you.” Indeed, he became wealthy and remained one of the affluent supporters of Anshei Shlomeinu in Tcherin throughout his life.(c) He is mentioned many times in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5586–5601 [1826–1841].(d) His son was Reb Yaakov of Tcherin. His brothers were Reb Moshe and Reb Chaim.(a) כו״א, 33. (b) אי״ש, vol. 6, p. 13, states that he became Rabbeinu’s brother-in-law by marrying Mrs. Perel, Rabbeinu’s sister. This does not appear correct, because in 5582 [1822] Mrs. Perel is described as the widow of Reb Pinchas Meir; see her entry. Moreover, Rebbe Nosson’s letters explicitly call him “the wealthy Reb Hirsch son of Reb Ephraim of Tcherin” (על״ת, 259). (c) כו״א, 37–38; see there at length.

(b) על״ת, 474. (c) The letter of Anshei Shlomeinu concerning Rebbe Nosson’s passing. (d) נ״א, 8. ## Segment 1511 Reb Tzvi ## Segment 1512 ר' צבי ## Segment 1513 A brother of Reb Meir Leib Blecher.

He was expert and incisive throughout the entire Torah. Because of his extreme poverty, he had no light in his home at night; he would sit and review Gemara and Shulchan Aruch by heart until daylight. Chatzos never passed while he was asleep. Many members of Anshei Shlomeinu sent their especially gifted sons to study Torah under him (מבה״נ, issue 35, p. 33). ## Segment 1523 Reb Tzvi Hirsch, Son of Reb Yom Tov, of Krakow ## Segment 1524 ר' צבי הירש ברי"ט מקראקא ## Segment 1525 He is mentioned several times in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5604 [1844].

His father came to seek Rebbe Nosson’s advice, and Rebbe Nosson told him to arrange his marriage. Immediately after marrying, he underwent an extraordinary transformation and became a servant of Hashem and a great tzaddik. He was known in Yiddish as der vaiser feter, “the White Uncle.” He was especially beloved by Reb Nachman of Tulchin. His son was Reb Nachman (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1544 Reb Tzvi Hirsch of Kiblitch ## Segment 1545 ר' צבי הירש מקיבליטש ## Segment 1546 He was desperately poor and earned his living by selling tar. He served Hashem with fiery devotion through rising for Chatzos, hisbodedus, Torah, and tefillah. He died before reaching seventy years of age, near the end of the 5670s [late 1910s], and left no sons (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1547 Reb Tzvi Hirsch HaKohen of Breslov ## Segment 1548 ר' צבי הירש הכהן מברסלב ## Segment 1549 A member of Anshei Shlomeinu in Uman, where he moved during his final years; before that he had lived in Breslov. He died in 5680 or 5681 [1920–1921] (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1550 Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh son of Rabbi Aharon ## Segment 1551 ר' צבי אריה ב"ר אהרן ## Segment 1552 A son of Rabbi Aharon, the rabbi of Breslov. He was born in 5559 [1799] and as a youth merited to see Rabbeinu. In 5575 [1815], he married a daughter of Reb Chaim Sarah’s, a disciple of Rabbeinu. In 5605 [1845], after his father’s death, he was appointed in his place as rabbi of Breslov. He died on 11 Adar 5628 and was buried in Breslov.(a) Several times he carried out the stringent penitential discipline known as Teshuvas HaKaneh.(b) His sons were Reb Chaim and Rabbi Nachman, the rabbi of Tcherin.(a) מבה״נ, issue 2, p. 34—an article about him; issue 35, p. 33; issues 51–52, p. 45; issue 59, p. 37. (b) השוה״ס. See also כו״א, 29, 60; סינ״פ, 167; and the will of the rabbi of Tcherin. ## Segment 1553 Reb Tzvi Aryeh ## Segment 1554 ר' צבי אריה ## Segment 1555 He is mentioned in letters written from Tzfas in 5629 [1869] by Reb Yitzchok, son of Rebbe Nosson: “Why have I received no word at all from our friend Reb Hirsch Leib?”(a) And: “I was astonished that in their celebration they did not mention our friend … and our friend Reb Tzvi Aryeh, who presumably were all together with them; please inform us about this.”(b) It is highly probable that he meant Rabbi Tzvi Aryeh, the rabbi of Breslov, who died on 11 Adar 5628, as described in the preceding entry. Reb Yitzchok was already on his way to Eretz Yisrael at that time and apparently had not yet learned of his death.(a) מרי״ש, 5 Vayeitzei 5629. (b) Ibid., 29th day of the Omer 5629. ## Segment 1556 Reb Tzvi Gershon Fittel ## Segment 1557 ר' צבי גרשון פיטיל ## Segment 1558 He is mentioned with the blessing “of blessed memory” in a 5638 [1878] letter of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya.

Rabbeinu found favor in their eyes. In 5570 [1810], when he settled in Uman, he drew them close and spoke with them extensively. Ultimately, on the final Rosh Hashanah of Rabbeinu’s life, in 5571 [1810], they prayed together with Rabbeinu and Anshei Shlomeinu at the Uman gathering. After Rabbeinu’s passing they said to Rebbe Nosson: “You are missing the Rebbe? We are missing the Rebbe! Had he remained alive, we would have become complete baalei teshuvah and tzaddikim.” After Rabbeinu’s passing they maintained contact with Rebbe Nosson and even assisted him during the controversy of 5595–5599 [1835–1839]. After Rebbe Nosson’s passing, Reb Tzvi Dov traveled to America and wrote letters from there to Reb Nachman of Tulchin. When he died, his sons wrote to Reb Nachman that he had died in repentance and that the words “Oy, the Rebbe, the Rebbe” had never ceased from his mouth.(סינ״פ, 3–10; see there at length. See also כו״א, 53, 79.) ## Segment 1562 Reb Tzvi Pesach Weissleib of Tulchin ## Segment 1563 ר' צבי פסח ווייסלאב מטולטשין ## Segment 1564 A disciple of Reb Akiva the melamed, through whom he drew close to Rabbeinu’s daas.(a) In 5643 [1883], he visited Eretz Yisrael and then returned abroad.(b) In 5662 [1902], together with Reb Yisrael of Kardon, he printed several works of Rabbeinu and his disciples in Lemberg.(b) At the end of his life he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Yerushalayim.

Since the day he arrived, he has eaten … only scant bread and measured water, while sitting day and night secluded with Torah and tefillah.”(b) With self-sacrifice he cared for several righteous converts who were in Tverya.(c) In 5637 [1877], he moved to Tzfas,(d) and in 5639 [1879] he had a dispute with Anshei Shlomeinu there.(e) In 5643 [1883], he was in Vilna and in mortal danger. He wrote to Anshei Shlomeinu in Tzfas asking them to send him letters of recommendation from Rabbi Shmuel Heller to Rabbi Chaim Eliezer Wachs.(f)(a) נת״צ, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 12, and elsewhere. (b) Ibid., 7. (c) Ibid., 10; שא״י, 5. (d) Ibid., 6. (e) נת״צ, 31. (f) Ibid., 136–137. ## Segment 1572 Letter Reish (ר) ## Segment 1573 Reb Reuven Yosef son of Reb Yisrael of Haisyn ## Segment 1574 ר' ראובן יוסף ב"ר ישראל מהייסין ## Segment 1575 An uncle of Reb Nachman of Tulchin—the brother of Reb Nachman’s father, Reb Avraham. He was one of the businessmen among Rabbeinu’s disciples,(a) a servant of Hashem, a gaon, and an exceptionally distinguished scholar. He was among the outstanding disciples of Reb Shmuel Isaac.(b) On one occasion he remained with Rabbeinu for an entire year and could not return home because of the opponents’ persecution.(c) When Rebbe Nosson stayed in Haisyn, and when Anshei Shlomeinu traveled from Breslov to Uman, they would lodge and sleep in his home. After Reb Nachman of Tulchin was orphaned of both parents, Reb Reuven Yosef raised him in his home; there Reb Nachman first became acquainted with Rebbe Nosson. He died in 5595 or 5596 [1835–1836].(d)(a) כו״א, 33. (b) השוה״ס. (c) כו״א, 50; see there about him. (d) ימה״ת, 26, at length; אבב״ר, 87. One tradition states that he traveled to Savran in an attempt to establish peace, that one of the opponents threw a candlestick at his head, and that he fell ill and died as a result; השוה״ס. ## Segment 1576 Reb Raphael ## Segment 1577 ר' רפאל ## Segment 1578 He is mentioned in a letter of Reb Nachman of Tulchin from 5632 [1872]. He was a brother-in-law of one of the important members of Anshei Shlomeinu, Reb Yechezkel Heshel, who, with Hashem’s help, will be included in Part II (letters of Reb Nachman of Tulchin at the end of על״ת, 4 Beshalach 5632). ## Segment 1579 Letter Shin (ש) ## Segment 1580 Reb Shaul of Teplik ## Segment 1581 ר' שאול מטעפליק ## Segment 1582 A disciple of Rebbe Nosson. Through him, Reb Meir of Teplik drew close to Rebbe Nosson. The burning of his heart was extraordinary, and all his tefillah and Torah were performed with tremendous fervor. He did not live long and died in 5590 [1830]. Rebbe Nosson’s words indicated that the verse concerning Chanoch was fulfilled in him: “And he was no more, for G-d had taken him”—because Hashem knew that he would fall and would not strengthen himself sufficiently to return and rise again (סינ״פ, 145; see there). ## Segment 1583 Reb Shaul Tuvia ## Segment 1584 ר' שאול טוביה ## Segment 1585 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5600 [1840] (על״ת, 286). ## Segment 1586 Reb Shabsai Breslover ## Segment 1587 ר' שבתי ברסלבר ## Segment 1588 A son-in-law of Reb Chaim HaKohen Stoler. Reb Yaakov the blacksmith of Uman was his father’s uncle. He was a wholehearted, simple man. He ate only one meal each day and always sought a guest with whom to share it. He collected food for the poor of Anshei Shlomeinu in a cart that he harnessed to himself. He died on 12 Cheshvan, sometime between 5680 and 5683 [1920–1923], at eighty-four years of age.

In 5577 [1817], he married.(b) In 5581 [1821], he printed the Tikkun HaKlali, and in 5582 [1822] he began printing Likutay Tefillos.(c) He assisted his father extensively in the work of publication.(d) His sons were Reb Nachman and Reb Naftali Hertz. His son-in-law was Reb Avraham Leib son of Reb Peretz.(a) יממ״א, 2. (b) Ibid., 98. (c) Ibid., 99. (d) על״ת, 8. See also מבה״נ, issue 2, p. 35; על״ת, 14, 163, 341, 418. ## Segment 1592 Reb Shalom of Dashiv ## Segment 1593 ר' שלום מדאשוב ## Segment 1594 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu’s disciples (כו״א, 33). ## Segment 1595 Reb Shalom son of Reb Dov ## Segment 1596 ר' שלום ב"ר דב ## Segment 1597 A son of Reb Dov, the shochet and bodek of Nemirov, who later lived in Tzfas. When Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya was in Uman for Rosh Hashanah 5642 [1881], he wrote to Anshei Shlomeinu in Tzfas, conveyed Reb Shalom’s greetings, and reported that he had been in Uman for Rosh Hashanah (נת״צ, 82). ## Segment 1598 Reb Shlomo son of Reb Leib ## Segment 1599 ר' שלמה ב"ר לייב ## Segment 1600 A son of Reb Leib of Dubrovna and brother of Reb Yitzchok Isaac, Rabbeinu’s son-in-law. He is mentioned by Rebbe Nosson in 5582 [1822] (יממ״ב, 41, 42, 46, 50, 52, 53). ## Segment 1601 Reb Shlomo of Aharinets ## Segment 1602 ר' שלמה מאגאריניצער ## Segment 1603 A grandson of Rabbi Shlomo of Lutsk, a disciple of the Maggid. His mother left him with Rabbeinu so that he might serve him and so that Rabbeinu might arrange his marriage. He was present for, and heard, the entire incident involving Reb Tzvi Hirsch of Medvedivka, who swore while holding a sacred object that he would come to Rabbeinu after his death (ימה״ת, 52; see there at length). ## Segment 1604 Reb Shlomo of Tulchin ## Segment 1605 ר' שלמה מטולטשין ## Segment 1606 A brother of Reb Mendl of Tulchin. He is mentioned in a letter of Rebbe Nosson (על״ת, supplements). The letter is undated, but its contents indicate that it was written in Adar 5584 [1824]. ## Segment 1607 Reb Shlomo of Bratslavka ## Segment 1608 ר' שלמה מבראהליוו ## Segment 1609 The father of Reb Baruch, Rebbe Nosson’s son-in-law. He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5594, 5595, and 5596 [1834–1836] (על״ת, 122; 1 Matos-Masei 5595; 204). ## Segment 1610 Reb Shlomo of Savran ## Segment 1611 ר' שלמה מסאווראן ## Segment 1612 A son of the rabbi of Savran who supported Rebbe Nosson in an exceptional manner.(a) He is mentioned in a letter of Rebbe Nosson from 5603 [1843].(b)(a) נ״צ, 221. (b) מכתבים, 16. The book HaSichos VeHaSippurim relates that the rabbi of Savran had a son named Reb Shlomo who was very dear and important to his father and tried to persuade him to end the controversy against Rebbe Nosson. That Reb Shlomo died during his father’s lifetime, which greatly broke his father’s spirit and was among the factors that caused the fire of controversy to subside. According to this, he died before 5598 [1838], the year the rabbi of Savran died, and therefore cannot be the Reb Shlomo of Savran mentioned in the cited letter. ## Segment 1613 Reb Shlomo Ephraim, Son of Rabbeinu ## Segment 1614 ר' שלמה אפרים בן רז"ל ## Segment 1615 He was born shortly before Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5565 [1805](a) and died in Sivan 5566 [1806].(b) When Rabbeinu entrusted the “Burned Book” for destruction in 5566, he warned Rebbe Nosson to pray for the child, who suffered from a severe cough, and said: “I knew when I handed over the book that the accusers would intensify against this child.”(c) The second Megillas Setarim was spoken after the child’s passing.(d) For an unknown reason, he was raised in Tulchin and is buried there.(e)(a) חיי״מ, 27, 72. (b) Ibid., 28, 31, 59. (c) Ibid., 177. (d) אבב״ר, 30. (e) אי״ש, vol. 2, p. 146.

Rabbi Mordechai of Chernobyl was once deeply impressed by the magnitude of his emunas chachamim in his teacher, Reb Shmuel Isaac.(a) He was somewhat distant from Rebbe Nosson, and through him a measure of controversy arose between Rebbe Nosson and Reb Shmuel Isaac. He was accustomed to utter witty remarks, and one such remark fanned the flames of the well-known controversy that erupted in 5595 [1835].(b)(a) אי״ש, vol. 2, p. 170; see there. (b) ימה״ת, 12. ## Segment 1619 Reb Shmuel son of Reb Abba ## Segment 1620 ר' שמואל ב"ר אבא ## Segment 1621 A son of Reb Abba, the shochet and bodek of Tcherin. In 5570 [1810], he and his father were with Rabbeinu for Rosh Hashanah. Rabbeinu gave him a little soup and thereby alluded that he would become wealthy; indeed, afterward he became exceedingly rich. His son was Reb Abbaleh of Tcherin (אבב״ר, 48; see there for the full details). ## Segment 1622 Reb Shmuel son of Reb Avraham Weinberg of Breslov ## Segment 1623 ר' שמואל ב"ר אברהם ווינבערג מברסלב ## Segment 1624 He did everything in his power to secure the release of Rebbe Nosson and Anshei Shlomeinu from prison and to rescue the manuscripts during the controversy of 5595–5599 [1835–1839].(a) He knew Russian, and together with his wife and his son Reb Moshe served as counselor, advocate, and writer in Russian throughout the controversy.(b) Rebbe Nosson mentions him several times in his letters: “Fortunate is the portion of Reb Shmuel Weinberg, who merited that such a redemption of captives should be completed through him.” And: “Fortunate are you, my friend Reb Shmuel, that you merited for the miracle to be completed through you.”(c)(a) ימה״ת, 17–18. (b) Ibid., 34. (c) על״ת, 162–163; see also 167–168; 6 Metzora 5595; 1 Matos-Masei 5595; 205; 234; מכתבים, 3. ## Segment 1625 Reb Shmuel son of Reb Dov ## Segment 1626 ר' שמואל ב"ר דב ## Segment 1627 Rebbe Nosson mentions him in 5582 [1822]: “On the night belonging to Monday [27 Shevat], Reb Shmuel son of Reb Dov, who lived in the village of Yufkovitz, made a feast. Reb Yudel and I traveled there … and ate the evening meal there” (יממ״ב, 44). ## Segment 1628 Reb Shmuel son of Reb Yaakov of Nemirov ## Segment 1629 ר' שמואל ב"ר יעקב מנעמירוב ## Segment 1630 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5591 [1830]: “On the holy Shabbos, one of the veteran members of Anshei Shlomeinu, the honored Reb Shmuel son of the honored Reb Yaakov of Nemirov, became weak in my home, and his illness was very severe.”(a) He died of cholera on 20 Kislev 5591, and Rebbe Nosson wrote of him: “Know that his soul departed in purity. He spoke words of faith at every moment until his soul departed. … He walked the upright path, the path of Torah, throughout his life, and died with a good name,” and so forth.(b)(a) על״ת, 30. (b) Ibid., 31. ## Segment 1631 Reb Shmuel son of Reb Mattisyahu of Ladizhin ## Segment 1632 ר' שמואל בר"מ מלאדיזין ## Segment 1633 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5596 [1836] (על״ת, 197). It appears to me that he was a son of Reb Mattisyahu of Ladizhin, a disciple of Rabbeinu and a brother-in-law of Rebbe Nosson. ## Segment 1634 Reb Shmuel Fixler of Tirhovitz ## Segment 1635 ר' שמואל פיקסלער מטירהאוויצע ## Segment 1636 The father-in-law of Reb Nosson son of Reb Nachman, son of Rebbe Nosson.

He is mentioned in the letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya from 5639–5643 [1879–1883]. In 5639, he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Tzfas. In 5640 [1880], he traveled abroad; when he returned, all his property had been lost and he was in severe distress. He was a great giver of charity and a generous host to Anshei Shlomeinu both abroad and in Eretz Yisrael. His sons were Reb Nachman and Reb Moshe. His sons-in-law were the aforementioned Reb Nosson and another son-in-law also named Reb Nosson (נת״צ, 3, 7, 24, 27, 35, 36, 46, 107, and elsewhere). ## Segment 1640 Reb Shmuel ## Segment 1641 ר' שמואל ## Segment 1642 A son-in-law of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya. He is mentioned in his father-in-law’s letters from 5635–5638 [1875–1878]. His sons were Reb Nachman, Reb David Yosef, and Reb Shimshon [all to be included in Part II] (נת״צ, 3, 16). ## Segment 1643 Reb Shmuel of Teplik ## Segment 1644 ר' שמואל מטעפליק ## Segment 1645 One of the businessmen among Rabbeinu’s disciples.(a) He was among Rabbeinu’s greatest close followers, a wealthy and distinguished man who feared Hashem. He accompanied and served Rabbeinu on his 5567 [1807] journey to Kremenchug, Novoritch, Ostroh, and Zaslav, and again on his long 5568 [1808] journey to Lemberg.(b) After Rosh Hashanah 5567, Rabbeinu sent him to Medzhibuzh to take possession of the shops that had belonged to the Baal Shem Tov; there he met Rabbeinu’s uncle, the holy Rabbi Baruch.(c) He died on the holy Shabbos, 24 Iyar 5591.(d) His sons were Reb Mordechai, Reb Aharon, and Reb Nachman.

See all these sources at length for the incidents that occurred on those journeys. (c) Sichos VeSippurim in the introduction to Biur HaLikutim; השוה״ס; see there for the full journey and meeting with Rabbi Baruch.

He was a dealer in precious stones and jewelry.(a) He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5593–5604 [1833–1844].(b)(a) אבב״ר, 66, states that this was Reb Shmuel of Teplik, but this is incorrect: first, Reb Shmuel of Teplik died in 5591 [1831], whereas Reb Ephraim’s father-in-law is mentioned until 5604 [1844]; second, Reb Shmuel, Reb Ephraim’s father-in-law, lived in Kremenchug, not Teplik. See note (b) below and על״ת, 4 Shemos 5592. (b) על״ת, 87; מכתבים, 7, 9. ## Segment 1649 Reb Shmuel ## Segment 1650 ר' שמואל ## Segment 1651 A relative by marriage of Rebbe Nosson. He is mentioned in a letter from 5604 [1844]: “I too convey greetings to my relative by marriage, the rabbinic, wealthy, and wise, the honored Reb Shmuel, may his light shine, together with his modest wife, Mrs. Pessi” (מכתבים, 9). ## Segment 1652 Reb Shmuel the Jeweler ## Segment 1653 ר' שמואל צורף ## Segment 1654 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5595 [1835]: “On Isru Chag as well, Hashem arranged in His wonders that Reb Shmuel the jeweler completed the Torah, honored me with bringing the Sefer Torah into the synagogue, and we rejoiced,” and so forth (על״ת, 149). He may be Reb Shmuel, the father-in-law of Reb Ephraim, and may have been called “the jeweler” because of his trade in precious stones and ornaments. Although he lived in Kremenchug, he brought a Sefer Torah into the beis midrash in Breslov that stood on the site of Rabbeinu’s house, which had burned down. ## Segment 1655 Reb Shmuel of Zorin ## Segment 1656 ר' שמואל מזורין ## Segment 1657 Rebbe Nosson describes him as “a worthy and very distinguished man, one of the treasured members of Anshei Shlomeinu.” He died before 5582 [1822].

He and Reb Yudel were the men whom Rabbeinu sent in 5566 [1806] with the “Burned Book.”(d) He had a measure of controversy with Rebbe Nosson that arose through Reb Shlomo Reuven Zlates, and Rebbe Nosson suffered greatly over it.(e) He composed a large volume of original teachings on Tanach, the Talmud, and Rabbeinu’s books, as well as a work entitled Sefer HaChezyonos. The elders of Anshei Shlomeinu saw these manuscripts, but they are no longer in our possession.(f) He died in 5587 [1827](g) and left a daughter.(h)(a) השוה״ס. (b) כו״א, 24. (c) על״ת, 163.

He also possessed manuscript copies of works by the rabbi of Tcherin. Together with Reb Shmuel Meir Anshin [to be included in Part II], he worked at a printing house in Jaffa that also printed heretical material. Reb Avraham son of Reb Nachman wrote to them that they must take a stand and insist that the printer not produce such matter. He died in Jaffa on 14 Kislev 5678 (סינ״פ, 165; נ״א, 14; שא״י, 29; reverse side of the title page of Biur HaLikutim). ## Segment 1667 Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok Rosenfeld, Rabbi of Tcherin ## Segment 1668 ר' שמואל יצחק רוזנפלד הרב דטשעהרין ## Segment 1669 One of Rabbeinu’s important disciples. Some say that he drew close to Rabbeinu while still a young boy.(a) In 5567 [1807], he informed Rabbeinu in advance of the fire that would take place in Breslov and Medvedivka.(b) He was very close to Rabbeinu and witnessed a number of wondrous incidents in his presence.(c) At Rabbeinu’s direction he was appointed rabbi of Tcherin.(d) He died sometime between 5608 and 5613 [1848–1853].(e) His sons were Reb Nachman and Reb Simcha.(a) אבב״ר, 31. (b) חיי״מ, 151. (c) כו״א, 45; סינ״פ, 153, 155. (d) מבה״נ, issues 51–52, p. 47. (e) Immediately after his death, Rabbi Nachman of Tcherin was appointed in his place. Rabbi Nachman is known to have been a young married man at the time and to have served somewhat more than forty years. For Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok’s meeting with Rabbi Levi Yitzchok of Berdichev, see חיי״מ, 333. ## Segment 1670 Reb Shmuel Meir ## Segment 1671 ר' שמואל מאיר ## Segment 1672 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5596 [1836] (על״ת, 188). ## Segment 1673 Reb Shmuel Tzvi of Breslov ## Segment 1674 ר' שמואל צבי מברסלב ## Segment 1675 He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5595 [1835] (על״ת, 168). ## Segment 1676 Reb Shmuel Shmelke ## Segment 1677 ר' שמואל שמעלקע ## Segment 1678 A stepson of Rebbe Nosson—a son of his second wife, Mrs. Dishel. He is mentioned several times in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5589–5603 [1829–1843].(a) He was a musician and composed several melodies that remain sung among Anshei Shlomeinu to this day.(b)(a) על״ת, 20, 234, 279; מכתבים, 15, 18. (b) השוה״ס. ## Segment 1679 Reb Shmuel Shmelke ## Segment 1680 ר' שמואל שמעלקע ## Segment 1681 A stepson of Reb Nachman of Tulchin (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1682 Reb Shmuel Shmelke son of Reb Moshe Yehoshua ## Segment 1683 ר' שמואל שמעלקע ב"ר משה יהושע ## Segment 1684 A son of Reb Alter of Teplik. He is mentioned in Reb Alter’s 5670 [1910] letter to Reb Yisrael of Kardon (שא״י, 32). ## Segment 1685 Reb Simcha son of Reb Aharon ## Segment 1686 ר' שמחה ב"ר אהרן ## Segment 1687 A son of Reb Aharon of Lipovets. After the death of Reb Shimshon, a disciple of Rebbe Nosson, he took over Reb Shimshon’s work in the forest belonging to Reb Avraham Dov, Rabbeinu’s grandson. In that forest he devoted himself extensively to avodas Hashem and was known as “Reb Simcha of the Forest” (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1688 Reb Simcha son of Reb Meir ## Segment 1689 ר' שמחה ב"ר מאיר ## Segment 1690 A son of Reb Meir of Medvedivka, a disciple of Rabbeinu. Reb Avraham son of Reb Nachman heard from him the account concerning his father and Rabbeinu (כו״א, 46). ## Segment 1691 Reb Simcha son of Reb Nachman of Horodenka ## Segment 1692 ר' שמחה ב"ר נחמן מהאראדענקע ## Segment 1693 The father of Rabbeinu. He was born in approximately 5510 [1750] to Reb Nachman of Horodenka, a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, and to Reb Nachman’s second wife. According to tradition, she was a daughter of Reb Yosef of Spirbidlov and a sister of Reb Yitzchok of Drohobych. He married Mrs. Feiga, daughter of Reb Yechiel and Adel, daughter of the Baal Shem Tov. His sons were Reb Yisrael, who died young; Rabbeinu; and Reb Yechiel Tzvi. His daughter was Mrs. Perel. It is not known whether he died during Rabbeinu’s lifetime or afterward, nor is his burial place known (based on Otzar Yiras Shamayim, Hebrew edition, part I, chapter 2; מבה״נ, issue 61, pp. 114–117; השוה״ס. See also חיי״מ, 122, 129). ## Segment 1694 Reb Simcha son of Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok Rosenfeld ## Segment 1695 ר' שמחה ב"ר שמואל יצחק רוזנפלד ## Segment 1696 A son of Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok, the rabbi of Tcherin, and a son-in-law of Rabbi Aharon, the rabbi of Breslov. He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5593 [1833](a) and 5598 [1838].(b) His son was Reb Yehudah.(a) על״ת, 87. (b) Ibid., 231. ## Segment 1697 Kochvei Or, p. 70, and following it Shemos HaTzaddikim, state that Reb Simcha was Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok’s son-in-law. By contrast, אי״ש, vol. 5, p. 47, and an article in מבה״נ, issue 13, p. 75, written by a member of the Rosenfeld family, state that he was Rabbi Shmuel Yitzchok’s son and Rabbi Aharon’s son-in-law. This also appears from the cited letters in Alim LiTerufah and accords with the view of the elders of Anshei Shlomeinu. A mistake therefore appears to have entered Kochvei Or. ## Segment 1698 Reb Simcha Katz of Tzfas ## Segment 1699 ר' שמחה כץ מצפת ## Segment 1700 He is mentioned in letters of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya from 5642 and 5643 [1882–1883]. He came to Tzfas in 5642 as a widower and married there.(a) Reb Nosson calls him “Reb Simcha HaKohen, the tzaddik,”(b) and “our friend, who holds with absolute truth to the ways of Rabbeinu and his holy disciple.”(c)(a) נת״צ, 123. (b) Ibid., 120. (c) Ibid., 123. He is also mentioned there at 83, 113, 117, 118, and elsewhere. ## Segment 1701 Reb Simcha of Uman ## Segment 1702 ר' שמחה מאומאן ## Segment 1703 An exceedingly joyful man. Each day he collected food and distributed it to the poor of Anshei Shlomeinu. At times he led Minchah on Rosh Hashanah. He visited Eretz Yisrael. He died during Ne’ilah on Yom Kippur in 5679 or 5680 [1918 or 1919] and was buried in Uman (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1704 Reb Simcha Baruch, Grandson of Rabbeinu ## Segment 1705 ר' שמחה ברוך נכד רז"ל ## Segment 1706 A son of Reb Yitzchok Isaac and Mrs. Sarah, daughter of Rabbeinu. On Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5593 [1832], he married his cousin Rivka Miriam, daughter of Reb Yoska and Mrs. Adel, daughter of Rabbeinu—who at that time was his father’s wife. Sarah, Rabbeinu’s daughter, had died in 5592 [1831], and her husband Reb Yitzchok Isaac then married her sister, his sister-in-law Mrs. Adel, widow of Reb Yoska.(a) In 5604 [1844], a quarrel arose in their home. His wife and mother-in-law left and went to the home of the rabbi of Breslov. Through Rebbe Nosson’s efforts they later returned home, but peace between Reb Simcha Baruch and his mother-in-law Mrs. Adel remained incomplete, and Rebbe Nosson wished Adel to travel to Eretz Yisrael.(b) His son was Reb Yitzchok Isaac of Berdichev.(a) יממ״א, 110; על״ת, 86, 87; 1 Kedoshim 5595. (b) מכתבים, 10. ## Segment 1707 Reb Simcha David son of Reb Ephraim Weinberg ## Segment 1708 ר' שמחה דוד ב"ר אפרים וויינבערג ## Segment 1709 A son of Reb Ephraim son of Reb Naftali and a son-in-law of Reb Nachman Chaya’leh’s, Rabbeinu’s grandson. He is mentioned in a 5634 [1874] letter of his father(a) and in a 5621 [1861] letter of Reb Yitzchok, son of Rebbe Nosson.(b) His sons were Reb Shlomo and Reb Yisrael [to be included in Part II]. Reb Naftali of Tzfas may also have been his son; I heard this from the elders of Anshei Shlomeinu.(a) נ״א, 4. (b) מרי״ש, 4 Toldos 5621. ## Segment 1710 Reb Shimon son of Reb Ber of Kremenchug ## Segment 1711 ר' שמעון ב"ר בער מקרימינטשאק ## Segment 1712 Rabbeinu’s first disciple, friend, and contemporary. He drew close to Rabbeinu in approximately 5545 [1785], immediately after Rabbeinu’s wedding, when Rabbeinu told him, “It appears that there will be a great acquaintance between us.” For many years he was Rabbeinu’s trusted houseman, confidant, and faithful attendant. Rabbeinu said of him that he had already completely broken all the evil character traits.(a) He also said that the name Shimon could be rearranged as avon mash—“sin has departed”—and that this combination expressed his entire matter and aspect.(b) He prevailed upon Rabbeinu to grant that he should merit to serve him after his death just as he had during his lifetime.(c) On one occasion Rabbeinu became displeased with him. Events then led him to go into exile beyond the Don River, where he remained for more than three years and overcame extremely severe trials.(d) Some say that he was the man who accompanied Rabbeinu on the journey to Eretz Yisrael in 5559 [1798].(e) After Rabbeinu’s passing, he assisted Rebbe Nosson in collecting funds to print Rabbeinu’s books.(f) He possessed many writings, including original Torah teachings of his own that found great favor in Rebbe Nosson’s eyes; nevertheless, Reb Shimon did not wish to publish them and burned them.(g) ## Segment 1713 In approximately late 5582 [1822],(h) he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and settled in Tzfas. In 5593 [1833], he traveled abroad to arrange a match for his son. On Shavuos he was with Rebbe Nosson and expressed before Anshei Shlomeinu his amazement at Rebbe Nosson’s greatness.(i) He died in Tzfas after being beaten by rioters during the pogroms of 5594–5598 [1834–1838], and was buried with his son not far from the gravesite of the Arizal.(j) His family name was Kaminsky.(k)(a) חיי״מ, 106, 129, 169, 210, 219; יממ״א, 59, 63, 65.

Another tradition says that the companion was Reb Yitzchok, brother of Reb Chaykel the chazzan. (f) יממ״א, 71. (g) כו״א, 33. (h) In 5580 [1820], he was in Odessa intending to travel to Eretz Yisrael (יממ״ב, 13), but his journey appears to have been postponed, or he was delayed for a long time en route, because Rebbe Nosson does not mention him while in Eretz Yisrael in 5582; see also יממ״ב, 25. (i) אבב״ר, 36. The “Great Shavuos” was in 5593; see ימה״ת, 7. (j) אי״ש, vol. 1, p. 122. (k) מבה״נ, issue 47, p. 27. See also שיח׳, 174; אבב״ר, 39, 44; אי״ש, vol. 1, pp. 108–123. ## Segment 1714 Reb Shimon Silitinsky of Kremenchug ## Segment 1715 ר' שמעון סיליטינסקע מקרימינטשאק ## Segment 1716 He is mentioned in a 5670 [1910] letter from Reb Alter of Teplik to Reb Yisrael of Kardon: “I sent the letters through my brother-in-law Reb Avraham Chazzan. … Please remind my brother-in-law to make every effort to print them … or let him deliver them into the hands of our distinguished friend Reb Shimon of Kremenchug, may his light shine, so that he may print them.”(a) Those letters—the letters of Rebbe Nosson—were indeed printed by him in Yerushalayim in 5670.(b)(a) שא״י, 32. (b) נ״צ, 144. ## Segment 1717 Reb Shimon of Homel ## Segment 1718 ר' שמעון מהאמלע ## Segment 1719 Before drawing close to Anshei Shlomeinu, he was a disciple of the holy author of Tzemach Tzedek. He drew close together with his friends from Homel, Reb Baruch Ephraim and Reb Mendl Litvak. He lived longer than his companions (השוה״ס). ## Segment 1720 Reb Shimshon, Disciple of Rebbe Nosson ## Segment 1721 ר' שמשון תלמיד מהרנ"ת ## Segment 1722 At the beginning of his attachment to Rebbe Nosson, he suffered severe persecution from his family. He managed the forestry enterprises of Reb Avraham Dov, Rabbeinu’s grandson.(a) He is mentioned many times in Rebbe Nosson’s letters from 5586–5595 [1826–1835].(b) His sons were Reb Yehudah Eliezer and Reb Yisrael Mendl. His sons-in-law were Reb Michel son of Reb Yitzchok, son of Rebbe Nosson, and Reb Naftali Hertz son of Reb Shechna, son of Rebbe Nosson, in his second marriage. He died before 5633 [1873].(c)(a) כו״פ, 211; see there for an awesome incident after his passing. מבה״נ, issue 43, p. 21; see there concerning his attachment to Rebbe Nosson.

(c) In 5633 his grandson Reb Shimshon Barsky was born and named after him. ## Segment 1723 Reb Shimshon son of Reb Mordechai ## Segment 1724 ר' שמשון ב"ר מרדכי ## Segment 1725 A disciple of Rebbe Nosson. He was among the young men who at the beginning of 5595 [1835] could not restrain themselves when Rebbe Nosson was insulted and went out to quarrel with the opponents; Rebbe Nosson was very displeased with them.(a) He had been very beloved by his father and father-in-law, but during the 5595 controversy their hearts turned against him and they persecuted him harshly.(b) He was compelled to surrender all his books of Rabbeinu and Rebbe Nosson to the opponents.(c)(a) ימה״ת, 14. (b) על״ת, 168. (c) Ibid., 170. ## Segment 1726 Reb Shimshon Fittel ## Segment 1727 ר' שמשון פיטיל ## Segment 1728 He is mentioned with the blessing “of blessed memory” in a 5638 [1878] letter of Reb Nosson son of Reb Yehudah of Tverya. He died in Tzfas. He was a brother of Reb Nachman Fittel and Reb Tzvi Gershon Fittel (נת״צ, 15). ## Segment 1729 Mrs. Sarah, Daughter of Rabbeinu ## Segment 1730 מרת שרה בת רז"ל ## Segment 1731 She was born in 5550 [1790].(a) On Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5563 [1803], she married Reb Yitzchok Isaac son of Reb Leib of Dubrovna.(b) Rabbeinu expressed exceedingly great joy over her.(c) She died on 27 Kislev 5592, one day after giving birth to her son Reb Ephraim.(d) Her sons were Reb Yisrael, Reb Simcha Baruch, and Reb Ephraim. Her daughter was Feiga Sashia, wife of a son of Reb Yisrael, grandson of the holy Rabbi Baruch of Medzhibuzh.(e)(a) אי״ש, vol. 2, p. 38. (b) חיי״מ, 59, 116. (c) חיי״מ, 581–583.

See also Rabbeinu’s letters to her at the beginning of על״ת. ## Segment 1732 He also said on another occasion that one must leave disciples, so that those disciples will make other disciples, and the disciples of the disciples will shine onward ever more, throughout the generations. ## Segment 1733 Chayei Moharan, 373. ## Segment 1734 "My little fire will burn until Mashiach comes." ## Segment 1735 Chayei Moharan, 306. ## Segment 1736 Known Yahrzeits in Calendar Order ## Segment 1737 This table preserves the compiler’s concluding list.

It does not replace the complete entry and, in particular, does not repeat important undated information. When an entry contains more than four distinct years, the date line gives the first and last years, followed in parentheses by the number of explicit years. ## Segment 2354 1750s ## Segment 2355 5510 / 1750 ## Segment 2356 Reb Simcha son of Reb Nachman of Horodenka: He was born in approximately 5510 [1750] to Reb Nachman of Horodenka, a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, and to Reb Nachman’s second wife. ## Segment 2357 1760s ## Segment 2358 5525–5587 / 1765–1827 (5) ## Segment 2359 Reb Shmuel Isaac of Dashiv: He was born in 5525 [1765]. Between 5550 and 5559 [1790–1799], he and Reb Yudel drew close to Rabbeinu through Reb Dov of Tcherin. In his youth he endured great poverty and hardship. He was among Rabbeinu’s most important disciples, and Rabbeinu praised him exceedingly. He and Reb Yudel were the men whom Rabbeinu sent in 5566 [1806] with the “Burned Book.” He had a measure of controversy with Rebbe Nosson that arose through Reb Shlomo Reuven Zlates, and Rebbe Nosson suffered greatly over it. He composed a large volume of original teachings on Tanach, the Talmud, and Rabbeinu’s books, as well as a work entitled Sefer HaChezyonos. The elders of Anshei Shlomeinu saw these manuscripts, but they are no longer in our possession. He died in 5587 [1827] and left a daughter. ## Segment 2360 1770s ## Segment 2361 5535–5605 / 1775–1845 (6) ## Segment 2362 Reb Aharon son of Reb Moshe, Rabbi of Breslov: He was born in 5535 [1775] to his father, Reb Moshe, who served as head of the rabbinical court in the holy community of Korsin. Even during his father's lifetime, Reb Aharon served as rabbi in his place. He drew close to Rabbeinu while Rabbeinu lived in Medvedivka, between 5550 and 5559 [1790–1799]. One of Rabbeinu's greatest and most distinguished disciples, he was appointed by Rabbeinu's command as rabbi and head of the rabbinical court of Breslov when Rabbeinu moved there at the end of 5562 [1802]. Rabbeinu praised him exceedingly. He did so, and Rabbeinu approved of his work. Reb Aharon was one of the two witnesses whom Rabbeinu designated regarding the recital of the Ten Psalms at his gravesite. Rabbeinu did not wish him to hear the Megillas Setarim. He failed to come to Rabbeinu for Rosh Hashanah 5571 [1810], and Rabbeinu was displeased by this. His sons were Reb Tzvi Aryeh and Reb Nachman. Rabbeinu hinted to him that he would pass away on Rosh Chodesh Av; so it occurred, and he died on Rosh Chodesh Av 5605 [1845]. His resting place is in Breslov. ## Segment 2363 1780s ## Segment 2364 5540–5605 / 1780–1845 (15) ## Segment 2365 Our Teacher Rabbi Nosson son of Naftali Hertz Sternhartz [Rebbe Nosson / Moharanat]: He was born in Nemirov on 15 Shevat 5540 [1780]. On Shabbos Nachamu 5553 [1793], he married Mrs. Esther Shaindel. He drew close to Rabbeinu in Elul 5562 [1802], lived in Mohyliv during 5567-5568 [1806-1808], returned to Nemirov during 5569-5571 [1808-1811], and moved to Breslov in the summer of 5571 [1811]. He traveled to Eretz Yisrael in the summer of 5582 [1822]. His first wife died on Rosh Chodesh Elul 5586 [1826], and in Cheshvan 5587 [1826] he married Mrs. Dishel. During the controversy of 5596-5598 [1836-1838] he was exiled to Nemirov. He passed away on 10 Teves 5605 [1844] and was buried in Breslov. ## Segment 2366 5545–5559–5567 / 1785–1799–1807 ## Segment 2367 Mrs. Sashia, Wife of Rabbeinu: She married Rabbeinu in approximately 5545 [1785]. Before Purim 5567 [1807], Rabbeinu traveled to Ostroh and sent for her to be brought to Dr. Gordon. She chose instead to go to physicians in Zaslav, where she died on the eve of Shavuos 5567 [1807] and was buried that day. ## Segment 2368 5545–5565 / 1785–1805 ## Segment 2369 Reb Efraim, Rabbeinu's Father-in-Law: Around 5545 [1785], Rabbeinu married his daughter, Mrs. Sashia. Reb Efraim passed away before 5565 [1805]. ## Segment 2370 5545–5598 / 1785–1838 (7) ## Segment 2371 Reb Shimon son of Reb Ber of Kremenchug: He drew close to Rabbeinu in approximately 5545 [1785], immediately after Rabbeinu’s wedding, when Rabbeinu told him, “It appears that there will be a great acquaintance between us.” For many years he was Rabbeinu’s trusted houseman, confidant, and faithful attendant. Events then led him to go into exile beyond the Don River, where he remained for more than three years and overcame extremely severe trials. Some say that he was the man who accompanied Rabbeinu on the journey to Eretz Yisrael in 5559 [1798]. After Rabbeinu’s passing, he assisted Rebbe Nosson in collecting funds to print Rabbeinu’s books.

After the death of Reb Shmuel Yitzchok, rabbi of Tcherin, sometime between 5608 and 5613 [1848–1853], Reb Nachman was appointed rabbi of Tcherin despite his resistance, after Reb Naftali persuaded him to accept. In 5629 [1869], he visited Eretz Yisrael and remained for approximately one month.

His trust in Hashem was of an extraordinarily exalted level.

His son was Reb Nachman. ## Segment 2582 5588 / 1828 ## Segment 2583 Reb Yitzchok Isaac Yosef Sofer: One of Rebbe Nosson's earliest close associates and a man of exceptional stature. Rebbe Nosson often praised him and the quality of his tefillin writing, and wished all Anshei Shlomeinu to pray in tefillin written by him. He passed away on 11 Adar 5588 [February 26, 1828]. After his death, Rebbe Nosson told his son Reb Pinchas Yehoshua: “Your father was a tzaddik” (סינ״פ, 144–145; על״ת, 2; מבה״נ, 3:51, the account of his drawing close to Rebbe Nosson). ## Segment 2584 5589–5676 / 1829–1916 (6) ## Segment 2585 Reb David Tzvi son of Reb Yitzchok: He was born in 5589 [1829], became engaged in 5598 [1838], and married in 5604 [1844].

At the beginning of 5598, bad news was heard that he was no longer alive.

He does not appear to be the Reb Yaakov in the preceding entry: that man drew close after his marriage in 5591 [1831], and by 5629 would have been at least fifty-three years old, making the description “young scholar” unsuitable. ## Segment 2607 5591 / 1831 ## Segment 2608 Reb Yaakov, Son-in-Law of Reb Ber of Ladizhin: He came to Rebbe Nosson for Shabbos Chanukah 5591 [1830], but before Shabbos he was forced to flee in alarm because of the cholera epidemic then raging (על״ת, 32). ## Segment 2609 5592 / 1832 ## Segment 2610 Reb Efraim son of Reb Yitzchok Isaac: He was born during Chanukah 5592 [1831] to Reb Yitzchok Isaac and Mrs. Sarah, daughter of Rabbeinu; his mother died the following day. ## Segment 2611 5592–5595–5598 / 1832–1835–1838 ## Segment 2612 Reb Eliyahu of Breslov: He is mentioned in Rebbe Nosson's letters from 5592 [1832].

In 5625 [1865], he rebuilt the beis midrash in Uman, because the building erected by Rebbe Nosson in 5592 [1832] had already become weak and dilapidated. For a long period he covered the expenses of the beis midrash and the support of Reb Nachman of Tulchin. He generously supported the poor of Anshei Shlomeinu and the members of Anshei Shlomeinu living in Eretz Yisrael. He was a marvelous musician, and several of his melodies remain current among Anshei Shlomeinu to this day. He died in 5638 [1878]. ## Segment 2619 5592–5593–5595–5604 / 1832–1833–1835–1844 ## Segment 2620 Reb Simcha Baruch, Grandson of Rabbeinu: On Rosh Chodesh Kislev 5593 [1832], he married his cousin Rivka Miriam, daughter of Reb Yoska and Mrs. Adel. In 5604 [1844], a serious quarrel arose in their household, and Rebbe Nosson worked to restore peace. ## Segment 2621 5592–5593–5605 / 1832–1833–1845 ## Segment 2622 Reb Yisrael Mendl son of Reb Shimshon: This is doubtful: as late as 5592 [1832], his father Reb Shimshon still had no sons (על״ת, 81). Even if he was born in 5593, he would not yet have been twelve when Rebbe Nosson passed away in 5605 [1844]. ## Segment 2623 5593–5594–5603 / 1833–1834–1843 ## Segment 2624 Reb Baruch son of Reb Shlomo: At the end of 5593 [1833], he married Chana Tziril, Rebbe Nosson's daughter.

He also had a son, born in 5603 [1843]. ## Segment 2625 5593–5643–5670–5673 / 1833–1883–1910–1913 ## Segment 2626 Reb David Tzvi Dashovsky: He was born in 5593 [1833] to his father Reb Yonah, a descendant of Reb Yudel of Dashiv, one of Rabbeinu's great disciples. He visited Eretz Yisrael in 5643 [1883] and again in 5670 [1910], when he printed Likutay Moharan in Yerushalayim. He is mentioned many times in the letters of Anshei Shlomeinu.
