Bio Information:
Reb Yeshaya HaLevi Horowitz was born in Tzfas in 1883, the 11th generation ben-achar-ben of the Shaloh HaKadosh. He was descended from Rebbe Sholom Shachna, father of the Tzemach Tzedek, through his second wife, Riva, daughter of Reb Aron Hagadol of Karlin. (Rebbe Sholom Shachna had married her after the passing of Rebbetzin Devorah Leah, daughter of the Alter Rebbe.) He was a great gaon in nigleh and nistar, having studied under the great geonim of his time, including the Ridvaz. He traveled to Canada after World War One, where he served as Rov in Winnipeg for over three decades.
In 1953 Rav Horowitz moved back to Eretz Yisrael. He passed away in 1978 at the age of about 95 and was buried in his hometown of Tzfas.
