Rav Gershon Margolios of Skalit & Brod zt"l
Son of Rav Ben Tzion Margolios, Av Beis Din Skalit
He married the daughter of Rav Yissocher Dov of Zlatshuv, author of Bas Eini. He helped write and then publish his father-in-law’s sefer, Mevaser Tzedek on the Torah.
On Sunday he would write down his father-in-law’s Shabbos Torah teachings from the past Shabbos and read them back to him and incorporate corrections. This, he did for two years, from תקנ''ב-תקנ''ג. Rav Gershon was aided by Rav Chaim Zev Wolf ben Tzvi Hirsch of Zlatshuv in writing down the divrei Torah that they heard. After his father-in-law moved to Eretz Yisroel and passed away there, additional writings were sent back to his-son-in-law by Rav Shraga Feivel of Lwow. Eventually, these formed the sefer, Mevaser Tzedek. (Rav Gershon’s Introduction to Mevaser Tzedek).
He moved to Eretz Yisroel in תקע''א.
He passed away on second day of Rosh Chodesh Tammuz תקצ''ח and was laid to rest in Tzefas (others say Jerusalem).
