With endorsements from Rabbi Yosef Shaul Natanzon, Av Beit Din of Lviv; Admor the Divrei Haim of Sanz; and Rabbi Yitzhak Shmelkis, Av Beit Din of Premyslan.

Included are many important Admorim and rabbis, from many towns in Romania, Galicia, and the surrounding area, such as Rabbi Hillel of Kolomiya, the Ateret Yeshua of Dzikov, the Imrei Baruch of Vizhnitz (later the Admor of Vizhnitz), and others.

Rabbi Zvi Elimelech of Dinov (1783-1841) was a great Chassidic tzaddik, known mainly as the Bnei Issachar after his holy books which have been very beloved among chassidim for generations. He wrote a wide range of books other than these, on multiple aspects of Torah.
