Re: [Cz-L] Hayyim ben Solomon of Czernowitz?

Hi Edgar,

there was a brief exchange about R.Czernowitz on this list a couple of
years ago:

http://czernowitz.ehpes.com/czernowitz12/testfile2008/0295.html

R.Czernowitz's books are still in print:

One of them, published by J.Eckhardt in Czernowitz in 1861 is available in PDF:

Rabbi and a cabalist, a Tzadik, and a pupil of reb Israel Ba’al Shem. After he had been a rabbi in five different towns among which was Mogilev, Chernovitz and Kishinev, he settled in Jerusalem where he died in 1813. [...] If there is a person in Mogilev-Pod. Cemetery with Chernovitzer surname it should be a different person, because the Rabbi seems to me was buried in Israel. What is also interesting about this Rabbi of 18-19 century that I found references to his work not long time ago in a regular Chabad siddur, published recently!  I do not have any pictures...  I have some of the quotes from that siddur, I think I published it on Bessarabia SIG at some article..."
