Lev Aryeh on Masechet Chulin by Rabbi Aryeh Yehuda (1759-1818) son of Akiva of Brody. Rabbi Aryeh served as Rabbi of Podhajce, and subsequently as Av Bet Din and Motz of the famed Brody Community.

In 1907, the author’s grandson Rabbi Yaakov Lowy, published the Rabbi Aryeh’s sermons under the title, ‘Sefer Nachalei Dvash’ (Brody 1907).
