summary

COPY OF REBBE OF SULKA. R. Tzvi Hirsch Eichenstein (1763-1831) founded the Zydachov Chassidic dynasty. His primary mentor was R. Jacob Isaac Horowitz, the "Seer of Lublin." R. Tzvi Hirsch was considered the outstanding kabbalist of the Chassidim, his most famous work being "Atereth Tzvi" (Lemberg, 1834), a commentary on the Zohar. Two of his disciples were his nephew R. Isaac Safrin of Komarno and R. Meir Leibush Malbim. See Tz.M. Rabinowicz, The Encyclopedia of Hasidism, pp. 107-8.
