Sholom Rokeach - Biography

Sholom Rokeach (1779 – 10 September 1855), also known as the Sar Sholom ("Angel of Peace"), was the first Belzer Rebbe.

To Belzer Hasidim, he is known as "Der Ershter Rov" (the first rabbi), but in the city of Belz itself he was called "Der Alter Rov" (the old rabbi) in deference to the Bach, who presided as rabbi of Belz in the sixteenth century.

Biography

His father was Rabbi Eleazar, one of the sages of the Kloyz of Brody. The latter was the grandson of Rabbi Eleazar, rabbi of Brody until 1736, then rabbi of Amsterdam.

Rokeach grew up as an orphan and was raised by his uncle, his mother's brother, Rabbi Yissachar Dov Ramraz, rabbi of Skohl, then in Galicia. He married his uncle's daughter, Malka.

In the town of Skohl he was influenced by Rabbi Shlomo (Flam), the Rebbe of Skohl (also known as Reb Shlomo Lutzker), who was the personal writer and right-hand man of Rabbi Dov Ber of Mezeritch, the successor to the Baal Shem Tov, founder of Hasidism. Since his uncle (and father-in-law) was opposed to Hasidism, Rokeach would secretly be let down the window by his wife, to learn at Rabbi Shlomo Lutzker's beis midrash at night. He was also a disciple of the Seer of Lublin.

He composed several songs, most of them still sung by the Belzer Hasidim, including one niggun (melody) to Tzur Mishelo sung during the Shalosh Seudot third Shabbat meal.

Many of his teachings are preserved in an anthology entitled Midbar Kodesh.

He reigned as rebbe from 1817 until his death in 1855.
