summary

R. Meir Arik was one of the most revered Poskim of Galicia. Indeed the Belzer Rebbe directed the most complex halachic matters to him and abided by his decisions. Many of Poland's leading Torah scholars were his disciples, the most renowned of which include R. Meir Shapiro of Lublin; R. Aryeh Tzvi Frumer, Gaon of Koziegłowy; R. David Sperber, Gaon of Brașov; R. Yehuda Horowitz, Rebbe of Dzikov, R. Meshulam Roth, R. Reuven Margolies and R. Yehoshua Erenberg of Tel Aviv. R. Meir Arik published many books, yet most of his manuscripts were lost during his escape to Vienna during WWI.
