The Holy Rebbi Shlomo HaKohen Rabinowitz, Rabbi of Radomsk, author of Tiferet Shlomo (1800/1803-1866), was one of the great luminaries of Hasidism in Poland. From a young age, he studied under the great Hasidic masters in Poland, including Rebbi Fishel of Strikov, Rebbi Meir of Apta (author of Or LaShamayim), Rebbi Yeshaya of Peshischa, and Rebbi Yissachar Ber of Radashitz. In Adar 1834, he was appointed Rabbi of Radomsk, where he served for thirty-two years until his passing. In the 1840s, after the passing of several major Hasidic leaders in Poland, multitudes began traveling to him to learn from his Torah. His leadership was marked by both strictness and loftiness. He was renowned for his high level of holiness and abstinence, often speaking about the importance of guarding the covenant (brit). He was also known for his sharp wit, original thought, and deep wisdom, and his pithy sayings spread among Polish Hasidim. Many prominent Polish rabbis sought his guidance.
Among his disciples was the German scholar and author Rabbi Aharon Marcus, who spent four years with him and authored Chassidut, and the physician and Hasidic rebbe Rabbi Chaim David Bernhard, a ba’al teshuva.
His sefer Tiferet Shlomo, printed posthumously in two parts, is one of the foundational works of Hasidic teachings. It was received with great admiration by many of the leading tzaddikim. The holy Rebbi Chaim of Sanz (author of Divrei Chaim) wrote in his endorsement that the sefer "will benefit the world, especially for those devoted to the way of Hasidism, for his words are pleasant." Rebbi Chaim of Sanz also remarked that a key to parnassah was given into his hands to bestow great goodness upon the House of Israel.
The holy Rebbi Menachem Mendel of Vorka said about the sefer: "I saw three new things in this sefer. Had the holy rebbi, the author, not revealed them to us, we would not have known them until the coming of the Messiah."
The Rebbe’s son, the holy Rebbi Avraham Yissachar HaKohen Rabinowitz of Radomsk, author of Chesed Le’Avraham (1843-1892), was the successor of his father, the holy Rebbi Shlomo Rabinowitz, author of Tiferet Shlomo of Radomsk. He was one of the great Rebbes of his generation, attracting thousands. Known for his deep love for the Jewish people and pursuit of peace, he was renowned for his holiness and righteousness. His works include Chesed Le’Avraham on the Torah and festivals.With stamp of Rabbi Menachem Eliezer Frankel-Teomim of Radomsk.
