Rabbi Chaim Tyrer
Rabbi Chaim Tyrer (circa 1746-1818) was one of the leaders of the Hassidic movement and an author of well-known Hassidic books. He was known as Rabbi Chaim of Chernovitz due to his being the rabbi of the city.
His father was told of his upcoming birth by Eliyahu the Prophet after observing the Mitzvah of Yibum without hesitation.
In his youth, he studied with Rabbi Avraham David (author of 'Da'at Kedoshim'). He also studied with Rabbi Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov (a disciple of the Ba'al Shem Tov), who was very fond of him. He also studied with Rabbi Pinchas of Koretz and Rabbi Baruch of Medzhybizh.
He served as Av Beit Din in many cities, among them: Mogilev, Botoschan and Kishinev. Since 1782, he served as the rabbi of Chernovitz. He was known as a genius and foremost rabbinical leader who corresponded with the most prominent rabbis of the time.
In 1805, he left Chernovitz in order to immigrate to the Land of Israel, yet due to certain circumstances, remained in Botoschan and served as its rabbi. he arrived in the Land of Israel in 1813 and settled in Safed.
He was known for his fondness of the Sabbath, until he was called "the Sabbath's Man". Already during his lifetime, he printed his book 'Sidduro shel Shabbat', Kabbalistic homilies on Sabbatical subjects. He was satisfied with little during the week, yet spared no expense in honor of the Sabbath. It is told of him that on Sabbath eve, when he left the Mikveh wearing his Sabbath clothes, he would actually become taller and his face would lit up. Rabbi Chaim used to say that in accordance to the verse "The children of Israel shall keep the Sabbath", the rules of a guard apply to him and therefore he must stand guard and not sleep at all on Sabbath! He used to be the prayer leader of all the prayers of Sabbath and read the Torah himself.
His holy books were greatly admired by the followers of the Ba'al Shem Tov and particularly, his book 'Sidduro shel Shabbat'. To this very day, his books 'Be'er Mayim Chaim' and 'Sha'ar Ha'Tefilah' are considered basic Hassidic books and are studied by thousands of Hassidim.
Rabbi Chaim is buried in the ancient cemetery of Safed near the grave of the 'Beit Yosef', in a cave called 'the Cave of the Be'er Mayim Chaim'.
