For his education, he travelled to Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, who told Jaffe that "a third of the world rests on him".
[4] After his marriage, Jaffe continued to live in Nesvizh until the death of Rabbi Shlomo in July 1792, who was killed by the Cossack army.
[8] Jaffe died in Stolin on 18 January 1810 (13 Shvat 5570), present in the city for the wedding of his grandson Rabbi Shlomo Chaim Perlov.
And awaken, please be generous for his generosity, to the crop that has come from them for two years which he has not demanded, and now they shall hold their land fiercely to his people, may he give and return and give at once a broad heart, and a new love in the holy affection shall be renewed among them... And I will pray to G-d through our land, and from the children to me will hear, and the living will let his heart be a complete act of righteousness in the square, very much commanded with joy and kindness.
As the disciple of Rabbi Shlomo, Jaffe followed in the footsteps of Karlin Hasidism, which emphasizes the importance of prayer with enthusiasm.
