yahrtzeit-candlesRav Yoel Baal Shem (1713)

Rav Avraham Danzig, author of Chayei Adam and Chachmas Adam (1748-1820). Born in Danzig(Gdansk), he learned at the yeshiva in Prague under Rav Yechezkel Landau. He settled in Vilna. He was related by marriage to the Vilna Gaon. He studied in Prague. It appears that he lived in Vilna for most of his life where he served as a dayan – judge. Other sefarim he authored include Zichru Toras Moshe – an introduction to the laws of Shabbos, Kitzur Sefer Chareidim – an abridgement of the classic Sefer Chareidim by Rabbi Elazar Ezkari, and Toldos Adam – a commentary on the Passover Hagadah.

  1. Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh Ashkenazi, who is known by the name of the city of his rabbonus – Halberdtadt, was niftar on 23 of Elul, 1774. While one of his seforim is called the Kos Hayeshuos, he is primarily known after his sefer Ateres Tzvi.
    He was NOT the Maharsheishach (Moreinu Horav Shmuel Schotten HaKohen), who was a rov in Frankfurt, the author of a different safer by the name of Kos Hayeshuos, and the ancestor of the Chasam Sofer.

  2. 1) Include father’s (and/or mother’s) name of the niftar / nifteress.
    2) Post this Yahrtzeit list A DAY BEFORE the yahrtzeit (tomorrow’s yahrtzeit, rather than today’s yahrtzeit) so that we can light a (24 hour) candle le’iluy nishoso already in the evening.
