You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 34.205.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:44, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

Rabbi '''Dov Berish Weidenfeld''' (1881–1965) was the Chief [[Rabbi]] of Tshebin ([[Trzebinia]]), [[Poland]], and after [[World War II]] spent his final years in [[Jerusalem]]. His principal work of [[halacha|Jewish law]] is titled "''Dovev Meisharim''".

== Biography ==

Dov Berish was born in [[Hrymayliv|Hrimlov]], [[Galicia (Central Europe)|Galicia]] (now [[Ukraine]]) on 5 January 1881 (5 Shvat 5641 in the Jewish calendar) to his father Jacob 'Yekele' Weidenfeld, rabbi of the town and author of the responsa ''Kochav miYaakov''.<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www1.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/communities/trzebinia/religious_life_wiedenfeld.asp |title=Biography at Yad vaShem |access-date=2010-06-07 |archive-date=2012-03-14 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120314025625/http://www1.yadvashem.org/yv/en/exhibitions/communities/trzebinia/religious_life_wiedenfeld.asp |url-status=dead ))</ref>

With Reb Yekele's death shortly before Beirish's [[Bar Mitzvah]], the delicate task of raising a new prodigy fell to his widow&nbsp;– herself renowned for her genius and wit (she wrote a great number of her husband's responsa on dictation) and to her two older sons: Reb Yitzchak, who replaced his late father as Rav of Hrimlov and Reb Nachum, Rav of Dombrovo and author of the Chazon Nachum, and later celebrated as a great posek in his own right.

By age 19 Reb Beirish entered by marriage into the illustrious family of Rav Yisroel Yoseif HaCharif of Tshebin. Since he did not want any rabbinic post, his wife administered a modest coal business, while he continued his single-minded pursuit of Torah study, amassing knowledge of phenomenal breadth and scope. Nonetheless, the avalanche of requests from varied [[Kehilla (modern)|kehillos]] that he lead them as their Rav continued, and his friend, Reb [[Meir Arik]], prayed that his business fail so that Klal Yisrael not be deprived of his leadership. For twenty years, this Tshebiner [[ba'al habayis]] (layman)&nbsp;– already renowned as the "Gaon of Tshebin"&nbsp;– was consulted by leading rabbanim with whom he maintained a vigorous correspondence; still he remained deaf to all rabbinical offers. However, due to his love of learning and teaching, he would commute daily to and from [Cracow] to say [[shiur]]im to the local [[bachur]]im after business hours.

He carefully collected copies of these [[responsa]], amassing enough material to publish ten volumes. In 1937 he succeeded in producing the first and only [[Sefer (Hebrew)|sefer]] ever printed in Tshebin, entitled ''Doveiv Meishorim''&nbsp;– the other nine volumes were never published.

His noted son-in-law, his successor as [[rosh yeshiva]] of Kochav MiYaakov, and a noted gaon and author in his own right, Rabbi Baruch Shimon Schneersohn relates that upon republishing these responsa some 26 years after they were written, he included the Rabbie's subsequent handwritten glosses to the first edition. He found not one correction, only additional proofs to those very answers originally written without as much as a [[Gemara]].

The Tshebiner Rav's picture, along with those of the Rebbes of [[Ger (Hasidic dynasty)|Ger]] and [[Belz]], had appeared in the venomous tabloid [[Der Sturmer]], his caption reading: "The world's greatest Talmudist." Realizing that he was a target for elimination, he fled, crossing the [[Communism|Communist]] border and entering [[Lvov]] ([[Lemberg]]). Communist authorities were carrying out their systematic erasure of religious life, and the gaon of Tshebin, along with his wife, youngest daughter and thousands of other Jews, were deported to Siberia, arriving in [[Sverdlovsk Oblast|Sverdlovsk]], [[Siberia]], in late 1940.

The Tshebiner Rav arrived on [[Erev Pesach]], 1946, in [[Jerusalem]], which he was to call home for the rest of his life. He was soon recognized as one of the leaders of [[Chareidi]] [[Jews|Jewry]] in the [[Land of Israel]] and served as a leading member of the [[Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah|Council of Sages]] of [[Agudat Israel|Agudas Yisroel]].

He established the Kochav miYaakov [[Yeshiva]] in Jerusalem, first in the [[Shaarei Chesed]] neighborhood and  later in a purpose-built building in [[Tel Arza]].

He died on the 10th of Cheshvan, 5726, 70 minutes before Shabbos. He was interred on [[Har HaMenuchot]].
