The Holy Tzadik Rebbi Shalom HaLevi Rosenfeld of Kaminka (1800-1852, Encyclopedia L’Chassidut Vol. 3, pp. 668-671), a leading Chassidic rebbi, close disciple of Rebbi Naftali of Ropczyce, predecessor of the Kaminka dynasty; born in Rava-Ruska (today in Ukraine). According to Chassidic tradition, his soul is that of the Vilna Gaon (who died shortly before Rabbi Shalom’s birth), and he said about himself that his was the soul of the Tana’im.
In his youth, he studied Torah from Rabbi Zvi Hirsh Charif and from Rabbi Shlomo Kluger who lived in Rava-Ruska. Later, he learned from great Galician rabbis such as Rabbi Yitzchak Shmelkish Av Beit Din of Lvov (author of Beit Yitzchak), Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Turker "the Gaon of Domvrova", etc. At the age of 9, he already completed the whole Talmud and was known as an incredible prodigy. People relate that Rabbi Efraim Zalman Margaliot met him and amazed at his genius said: "I was also a genius in my youth, but such a prodigy I have never seen". In his youth, his father took him to tsaddikim and he visited the Chozeh of Lublin who described the child as the "chacham of the generation" and even invited him to eat with him from his plate. Afterward, he became the devoted disciple of Rebbi Naftali of Ropczyce, and was one of his two leading disciples, together with his friend Rebbe Chaim Halberstam, author of Divrei Chaim of Sanz. After the death of Rebbi Naftali of Ropczyce, he used to travel to the tsaddikim of his generation including Rebbi Shalom of Belz, Rebbi Zvi Hirsh of Zhydachiv, Rebbi Zvi Hirsh of Romaniv, Rebbi Yisrael of Ruzhyn, Rebbi Zvi Elimelech Shapira of Dynów, etc.
He first served as Rabbi of Yaryshev and in 1837 moved to Kaminka. He refused to become a Rebbe but was renowned as a tsaddik and as a wonder-worker. He was the forebear of a long line of Kaminka Rebbes. He refused to print his novellae and burned his writings saying: “I know in advance the books which will be written before the coming of the Messiah and I do not want mine to be together with them in the same bookcase…”. Only in the last generation, remnants of his Torah writings were printed in the sefer Ohev Shalom (Brooklyn, 2006).
The Holy Admor Rebbi Elazar Halevi Rosenfeld of Oshpitzin (1862-1943), “Rabbi Elazar Oshpitziner”, was the son of the Admor Rebbi Yehoshua of Kominka and son-in-law of the Admor Rebbi Chaim of Sanz (the Divrei Chaim). In 1936 he immigrated to Israel (to Safed) and then to Jerusalem, where he established his Beit Midrash. In 1939, due to health issues, he returned to Poland where he perished in Sosnowitz, to where he had been deported with the residents of his town.
