Leaf with novellae on Tractate Megillah, handwritten by R. Zvi Elimelech of Dynów, author of Bnei Yissaschar, [early 19th century].
Two handwritten pages, with the novellae for leaves 18-20 and part of the novellae for leaf 21 of Tractate Megillah. The novellae include a Chassidic explanation to an Aggadic passage. These novellae were printed by his grandson R. Meir Meshulam Shapira of Łańcut in the book Re'ach Duda'im (Mukachevo, 1879).
The holy Gaon Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Langsam-Shapiro (1783-1841) was a prominent disciple of Rabbi Mendel of Rymanów and a disciple of the Seer of Lublin. He was also a disciple of the Apta Rebbe and of the Maggid of Koznitz. From a young age he served as rabbi in various Galician towns, however, he was particularly known for his tenure in the Dynów Rabbinate, where he was also proclaimed as Rebbe in 1815. He also served as rabbi of Mukachevo. Authored dozens of compositions in Halacha and Aggadah, Chassidism and Kabbalah. He is known after his holy book "Bnei Yissaschar" (his lineage was traced to the tribe of Yissachar by the Seer of Lublin). His descendants formed many dynasties of rabbis and rebbes, including Dynów, Munkacs (Mukachevo), Bukowsk and others.
