26 Tammuz 5519 (July 23, 1759) — the victory of Baal Shem-Tov over the Francoists during the dispute in Lviv.In the Kherson Geniz (the repository of Jewish texts, which is at every synagogue, which contains unsuitable texts of holy books. Since the letters were constantly quoted by holy texts in letters, a large number of household papers were in Geniza. XX century Kherson Geniz, where many Hasidic documents were found), so here, in the Kherson Geniz, a letter was discovered, which told the establishment of Rabi Israel Baal Shem-Tow of the custom of celebrating the Victory Day.The Francoists were followers of Yakov Franko, one of the disciples of the false messiah Shabtai Zvi. After Shabtai Zvi converted to Islam, Frank began to preach something similar and during his life managed to convert from Judaism first to Islam, from there to the Catholic faith, and then he was going to convert to Orthodoxy. Among other things, Frank preached immersion in the abyss of sin, so that the cup of patience would be filled as soon as possible and Moshiach would already come, etc.On July 17, 1759, a debate between them and normal Jews took place in Lviv, on the initiative of the French and the Catholic Archbishop of Lviv. For our part, forty rabbis participated, among which was the rabby Baal-Shm. Since the victory in the debate meant the defeat of the Catholic Church and could have caused the deterioration of the situation of Polish Jews, most rabbers did not want to participate in the debate, wishing only one - so that the Frankists would leave Judaism as soon as possible. Only Baal Shem Lays did not agree with this, who said that “while the affected member is still associated with the body, there is at least some hope of ever to cure it; When he was cut off, he was already gone forever. "After the end of the dispute, the priests demanded that the Francoists be baptized, which was done, and the new "Poles" changed not only their faith, but also their names, and in many cases their surnames. And then, these names, as it should be, became the pride of Poland and Russia — Brzezinski, Krysinsky, Yasinsky, Mayevsky, Piotrovsky, Zelinsky. In particular, the mother of the great Polish poet Adam Mickiewicz came from the Mayevsky family and he himself never forgot this.chabad.odessa

*28 tammuz 5653(July 10, 1893) — Yorzeit (anniversary of the departure from this world) Rabbi Yehuda-Leib Slonim, son of Rebbetzin Menuha-Rochl, daughter of the second Lubavitcher Rebbe — Miteler Rebbe.Rabbi Yehuda-Lejb was born in 5592 (1832) in Lubavitches and was the firstborn of Rebbetzin Menuchy-Rochl. At the age of 13, he and his parents made aliyah (moved, in modern terms, "for permanent residence" in Eretz Israel), and the birthday and the bar mitzvah rite were celebrated directly on the ship sailing to the shores of the Holy Land.At the age of 18, Egyuda-Libb returned in Lubavich to the third Lubavitsky Rebbe-Rabbi Menachem-Mendlu (Rebbe Tamakh of Udek) and spent some time there, but he lived most of his life in Hevron with his mother. Rebecn Menukha Rokhl (she was known in Hevron as "Grandmother") was a great respect and a synagogue and Mikva was built in her honor, and their house became the Hasidic Center of Hevron. At the instruction of the Rebeau, the Rabbek Egyuda-Libb was appointed one of the guardians of the 2-Colle Habad Training Center and remained in this position until the end of his days.Shortly before his death, Rabbi Yehuda-Leib moved to Tiberias. There, in this city, in the cemetery located on the shores of Lake Kinneret, he is buried.*28 tammuz 5601(July 17, 1841) — Yorzeit (the anniversary of the departure from this world) Rabbi Moishe Teitelbaum from the town of Szatoraliaujhey (Hungary).Rabbi Moishe — one of the students of the famous Hasidic tzadik Yaakov-Yitzchak ha-Levi Horowitz "Ha-Jose mi-Lublin" ("The Seer from Lublin") and the author of the book "Yisma Moshe", became the founder of the Hungarian Hasidic dynasty, now known as the Satmar Hasidim.chabad.odessa

*29 tammuz 4865(July 13, 1105) — Yorzeit (the anniversary of the departure from this world) of the most prominent commentator of the Torah — Rabbi Shlomo Itzhaki (Rashi).Rashi ("Rabed Shlomo Izhaki"-"Our Teacher Schlomo Son of Itshak") was born in the town of Troyes in 1040 in a respectable and respected Jewish family, who led her ancestry through the sages of Talmuda Johann Sandlard and Gillell. His first teacher was his father, Rabbi Izhak, and then the young man moved to Worms and Mainz, where he studied under the guidance of the famous sages of Rabbi Jaakov Ben Yakar and Yitzhak Ben Yetud. At the age of 25, already being a well -known Jewish scientist, Rashi returned to his native trouce, where he spent all his life. Here he founded Eshiva, which became the main in Northern France and Germany.In the whole Jewish world, both students and teachers perceive his comments on the Torah, the books of prophets and Talmud as the most important help in understanding these texts. Moreover, numerous works of later commentators are based on Rashi's comments. Rebeau in his cycle "Sikhot Rashi" ("Conversations of Rashi comments") has repeatedly demonstrated how simple, at first glance, understanding of the text with a large commentator, in fact involves many levels of understanding and often helps to solve the difficulties found in the text, as well as with the help of simple words taken from the interpretation. Interestingly, although Rashi held the post of Rabbi Troyes, he earned winemaking for life, and therefore he wrote all these stunning texts in his spare time.There were no sons in Rasha, but the daughters had an unusual knowledge of the Talmud for women and one of them even helped her father in compiling comments. The husbands of Rashi's three daughters were prominent Talmudists, and the most famous of the grandchildren were Rabbi Shmuel ben Meir (Rashbam) and Rabbi Jacob ben Meir Tam.The last years of the life of Rabbi Shlomo-Itzhaki fell on the period of the First Crusade, when many of his relatives and friends died.chabad.odessa
