Rabbi Shlomo Elyashuv (1851-1926), "G-dly Mekubal, Master of Secrets, Unique in his Generation, Genius in Knowledge of the Truth… Rabbi Shlomo Elyashuv" (called so by his disciple Rabbi Aryeh Levine in the section of a booklet where he wrote about Rabbi Shlomo), lived in the city of Šiauliai in Lithuania and was considered the greatest Mekubal in Lithuania. Rabbi Shlomo was renowned from his youth for his proficiency in kabalistic knowledge and he prepared most of the Vilna Gaon's kabalistic writings for print. His glosses on the book Etz Chaim were printed in the Warsaw 1891 edition named Glosses of Rabbi Shevach [acronym of Rabbi Shlomo ben Chaikel]. His series of books on kabbalah called Leshem Shvo V'Achlama were printed during 1909-1948, and are basic books for studying kabalistic wisdom. In 1924, he ascended to Jerusalem [together with his daughter and son-in-law, Avraham, Av Beit Din of Homyel, who later changed his family name to his father-in-law's last name. Their only son, Yosef Shalom became famous as the greatest posek of our generation, Rabbi Yosef Shalom Elyashiv] and was greeted with great admiration by the leading Sephardic cabalists in Jerusalem, Rabbi HaSadeh and the disciples of the Ben Ish Chai who heard from their rabbi of the greatness of Rabbi Shevach.
