Dovid Biderman

Grand Rabbi Dovid Biderman (1746-1814)[2] of Lelów was the founder of the Lelov Hassidic dynasty.

He is commonly referred to as "Reb Dovid Lelover".

[2] There is a Hasidic legend that Napoleon Bonaparte asked Rabbi Dovid of Lelov if he would be successful in his conquest of Russia.

After Napoleon's defeat, he allegedly passed through Lelov and told the Rebbe that he was indeed correct.

The Hasidim say that Rabbi Moshe of Lelov, the son of Rabbi Dovid, took the cloak to Jerusalem with him, and made the cover for the Holy Ark in his synagogue from it.
