Shimon Maryles

[2][better source needed] As a child, his father moved to Józefów, leaving Maryles with his grandfather Rabbi Yakov Kopel Likover.

He himself sat day and night in Talmudic Study and his name became known in the area as a true scholar and as a generous person.

It is recounted that the Ba'al Shem Tov, the founder of Chasidus, tried to attract Rabbi Ya'akov Kopel to Hasidism but he was unsuccessful.

As a result, his father was so upset that he told him not to say Kaddish for him with the addition of 'Veyatsmach' as per the custom of Hasidim (Nusach Sefard).

At the same time, he also received the authority of Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Rimanov, who lived in close proximity to Jarosław, as instructed by the "Chozeh."

Then he continued to travel to Rav Naftali's son, Rabbi Menashe, even though he was forty years younger than him.

Also among his many teachers were: Rabbis Moshe Leib of Sassov, Moshe [d] of Peshawarsk, Meir [d] of Premishlan, Chaim [d] of Kosov, Chaim Halberstam of Sanz, Shalom of Kaminka and Issachar Dov Av Beit Din of Sokal (father-in-law of Rabbi Sholom Rokeach of Belz).

He was involved in public affairs in the city, and personally handled the existence of the institutions, such as Mikveh and Kosher slaughter.

He also served as the chairman of the committee of seven members of dignitaries, which was set up on 19 January 1834 to raise funds, so that the poor children could also be exempt from the Austrian army.

[3] Rabbi Shimon died on the first day of Sukkot, 1849, and was buried in the cemetery in the Falkin suburb about eight kilometers from Jarosław.

The Ohel was destroyed by rioters during the Holocaust and for a long time its place was unknown in the ruined cemetery.

Ten of their children are known: He had a daughter who married Rabbi Ya'akov Mordechai Lieberman Av Beit Din in Toporov.
