Ze'ev Wolf Kitzes (Yiddish: זאב וואלף קיצעס, Russian: рабби Зеев Волф Кицис; born c. 1685 – died 12 Cheshvan 1788,[1] Poland) was a noted Hasidic rabbi.
According to the family tradition of a Medzhibozh branch of his descendants, the Rabbi was born in 1696 and passed away in 1765.
Later he moved to Medzhibozh where he, together with Rabbi David Purkes, stood at the head of the group of Chassidim that preceded the Baal Shem Tov.
When the Baal Shem Tov arrived in Medzhibozh, Kitzes and Purkes opposed him.
Rabbi Yitzchak Michelowitz of Radvil writes that Kitzes was famous for his piety and meticulous observance of Mizvot, to the extent that "he would even [ritually] immerse a needle".
