The author (1757-1828) was the son of the Kohznitzer Maggid (the Avodas Yisroel) and accompanied his father on visits to R. Elimelech of Lizhensk, the author of Noam Elimelech. Of humble disposition, the Chozeh of Lublin recommended that he should succeed his father as the second Rebbe of Kohznitz in 1814.
