R. Aaron Shmuel Koidonover known as the Ma’HarAShK, (1624-1676) was a disciple of R. Yaakov of Lublin and R. Herschel of Krakow. He served as Rav in Reisha, Biala and Vilna but during the Cossack massacres (1648-49) was forced to flee to Vienna. However due to the Polish- Swedish war in 1655 he was again forced to flee this time to Lublin. Tragically two of his daughters were murdered by the Cossacks. He unfortunately spent most his life wandering, due to war and persecution but despite all hardship authored various important works and was recognized as one of the Torah giants of his era.
