R. Yom Tov Lipman Hacohen (Vaslavsky) of Mir (1821-93) was one of the foremost Lithuanian Rabbis of his period. Known affectionately as “R. Lipaleh” the clarity and depth of his responsa placed him at the forefront of the halachic expositors of his generation. For more, see M. Zeira, Rabotheinu Shebagolah, Vol. I pp. 86-90.
