R. Aryeh Loeb of Polonnoye (The "Mokhi'ah", d. 1770), hasidic exegete and popular preacher in Poland. R. Aryeh may have been the first of the early Hasidim to accept the charismatic leadership of R. Israel b. Eliezer Ba'al Shem Tov, the founder of modern Hasidism. As a preacher, he acquired considerable popular influence and traveled among the communities of the Ukraine and Galicia, which gave him opportunities to spread Hasidism. Most of his life was spent at Polonnoye. R. Aryeh's main theme was of moral exhortation to the simple religious life. He spoke out against overestimation of philosophical and casuistic methods in learning, emphasizing, as did the Ba'al Shem Tov, the primacy of prayer in the scale of religious values.
