Meshullam Feivush Heller

Reb Meshullam Feivush Heller of Zbarazh (c. 1742[2]– 12 December 1794) was the author of several Hasidic sefarim including the Yosher Divrei Emes.

His father Harav Aharon Moshe of Sniatin was a fifth-generation direct descendant of Rabbi Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller (author of the Tosefes Yom Tov).

[2][3][6] His older brother, a non-Hasidic Kabbalist and the Av Beit Din of Dolyna (d. 1786),[2] also authored a sefer with his endorsement which appears in its beginning.

A Rebbe and Chassidic leader, Rav Meshulam Feivish was also renowned for his knowledge of Shas and Poskim.

After Rav Meshulam Feivish’s death, most of his followers flocked to the court of his close disciple, Harav Menachem Mendel of Kossov, founder of the Vizhnitz dynasty.
