The holy Kabbalist and Admor Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Eichenstein of Ziditchov
(1763-1831) was described as the “Sar Beis Hazohar – Minister of the House of the Zohar, ” due to his phenomenal mastery of the wisdom of Kabbalah. His nephew Rabbi Yitzchak Eisik of Ziditchov attested that he once heard his uncle express that he numbered among the disciples of Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai; and his nephew Rabbi Yitzchak Eisik of Komarno inscribed that “His soul is the soul of Moreinu Harav Chaim Vital.”
In his endorsement to Ateres Tzvi Vol. 2, the Bnei Yissachar inscribed: “I have rarely seen or heard in this generation of one who delves into the wondrous wisdom of Kabbalah as Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Eichenstein of Ziditchov, and he is singular in his generation in the wisdom of truth.”
