Rabbi Yitzchak Eizek commanded that his writings be buried with him. When the Yismach Moshe heard this, he instructed that his manuscripts quickly be copied over.
Rabbi Yitzchak Eizek Shochet (1735-1783) served as the shochet u’bodek in the village of Zurowica. He was renowned as a tzaddik and the rabbis of his time attested that he would give a rectification to the souls that were incarnated in the animal while slaughtering. In their letters of endorsement, many rabbis extol and praise him as a tzaddik and great Kabbalist. He authored Raza M’Heimena and Osiyos D’Rabbi Yitzchak.
