Rabbi Yitzchak [Jungerliev] of Radvil “Or Yitzhak” (son of Rabbi Yechiel Michal Maggid of Zlaczow), and the father of the Radvil dynasty, to which many of the great Hassidic leaders refer to the present day. Throughout his life he wandered from one place to another. It is said [in the name of Rabbi MotlSlonimer] that his father said that his five holy sons were against the five books of the Torah, and Rabbi Isaac is against the Book of Shemot, wherein the exile of Egypt is mentioned. Like in Exodus, so too will the Torah be given to him. His place in Radovil was filled by his son, Rabbi Dan, his son-in-law, Rabbi Yishai Mushkat, Av Beit Din of Praga [Warsaw suburb of Poland], author of EtzeiBesamim and RoshiBesamim. In his first marriage, Rabbi Yitzchak of Radvil married the daughter of Rabbi Moshe Shoham of Dolina, from whom his children were born. Rabbi Moshe of Dolina (one of the greatest disciples of the Baal Shem Tov) was a young man who, after his father, Rabbi Dan of Brod, was a boy. He was blessed with the shadow of the Baal Shem Tov. And his father took him with him to his rabbi, who also brought in his writings Torahs and commentaries which he was able to hear from him: After the death of the Baal Shem Tov he was surrounded by his Maggid’s Magistrate from Latachov. The words of his Torah were printed by his son Rabbi Shmuel in the books “Divrei Moshe” and “ImreiShoham.” It was written: “It is a great mitzva that this book should be in the house of Israel because it is a great guard in the house because it is the Talmud of the Baal Shem Tov” In the Kabbalah, “the fruit of the tree of life” was burned on the book of Etz Chaim.
