Yahrzeit - 15 Av
Resting place - Rotnitza, Lithuania
Rav Yaakov Leiner, author of "Beit Yaakov" and "Sefer HaZmanim", known as the Izhbitzer Rebbe.
He significantly expanded upon his father's Torah teachings and constantly shared Torah with his chassidim. During his time, the number of Izhbitzer chassidim grew greatly, as he was far more welcoming toward newcomers. Many of his teachings were later published in "Beit Yaakov" by his son and successor, Rabbi Gershon Chanoch Leiner of Radzin. The "Beit Yaakov" passed away on 15 Av 5638 (1878) in Druzgienik, Lithuania, and was buried in the nearby village of Rotnitza, Lithuania.
