Stamps of Rebbe "Shalom Moshkovitz, Suceava region". Rebbe Shalom of Suceava (1878-1958, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut Vol. 3, pp. 661-662), descendent of Rebbe Michal of Zolochiv and Rabbi Meir of Peremyshlyany. A leading rebbe of the last generation, amazingly proficient in all areas of Torah, and a great posek. In his youth, he was ordained by the Maharsham of Berezhany and even lived in his home for nine months to learn the practical application of the Torah. He served G-d in holiness and was a Cabbalist, known as a wonder-worker through his prayers, like a son beseeching his father. Disciple of the Rebbe of Sieniawa and the Belz Rebbes. Served in the Suceava rabbinate from 1903 and was the teacher and Rabbi of Rabbi Meir Shapira of Lublin who initiated the Daf HaYomi. From 1927, served as Rebbe in London. Wrote many books on the Talmud, the Torah and on Chassidut. His greatness and holiness were world-renowned and he was highly esteemed by all the great Rebbes of his generation. His diligence was rare; he would study Torah for hours and hours, stopping only to eat and perform mitzvoth. At the same time, his London home was wide open and people from all circles came to seek his blessing, ask his council and ask him for Torah decisions. In his testament, he promised to awaken Heavenly mercy upon any person who visits his grave, lights two candles for the elevation of his soul and accepts upon himself reinforcement of mitzvah observance or Torah study (he requested that this promise be printed on his gravesite in three languages: Hebrew, Yiddish and English).
