R. Samuel Strashun (1794-1872) was a renowned Talmudist whose comments and corrections (Hagahoth HaResha”sh) have been incorporated in all standard editions of the Talmud since their original publication in the Vilna edition. He owned a distillery in Vilna which was run by his wife while he devoted himself to Torah study. Many of the other signatories in this volume were community leaders in Vilna.
