Detail Description

Hasidic commentary to the Pentateuch by R. Joseph Meir Weiss (1838–1909), Admor of Spinka. R. Weiss was born in Munkacz (Mukachevo), where his father R. Samuel Zevi was the head of the bet din. He studied under his uncle R. Yizhak Izak Weiss in the small town of Svalyava (now in the Ukraine), later at the yeshivah of R. Meir Eisenstadt and his son in Ungvar, and subsequently in the yeshivah of R. Shmelkel Klein in Nagyszollos (Vinogradov). After his marriage he conducted a yeshiva in Brusa, Turkey. On the death of his wife he returned to his parents' home in Munkacz. After his remarriage, he stayed with his father-in-law. Weiss was an adherent of the hasidic rabbi R. Isaac Izak Eichenstein of Zydaczow (Galicia), whom he considered to be his teacher in Kabbalah , and with whom he stayed for a time. After R. Eichenstein's death many of his Hasidim regarded R. Weiss as his successor and began to attend upon him frequently in great numbers. He also visited R. Hayyim Halberstam, the hasidic rabbi of Zanz, whose authority he accepted. He became the founder of the hasidic dynasty of Spinka, which combines the characteristics of those of Zydaczow and Zanz. Many legends and remarkable stories circulated about him, some of which are given in the Pe'er Yosef, and he was the author of Imrei Yosef, a work on the Pentateuch. He also published Likkutei Torah ve-ha-Shas of his teacher and uncle, R. Yizhak Izak of Zydaczow.
