Rav Aryeh Leib zt"l
Rav Arye Leib was the son-in-law of Rav Zecharia Mendel, mechaber of the Ba’er Heiteiv.
He served as Rav in Belz from 5473 until 5478, and was later appointed as Rav of Horodna in 5480. His talmid Rav Arye Leib Epstein, mechaber of Sefer Hapardes, testified that he studied Torah all day and night and, although his deeds were secret, he testified that all the days of the week he never undressed himself at night (to put on pajamas and go to sleep in his bed). Rather, his best sleep was through the naps he took while sitting and learning, studying Torah in his chair. He passed away Rosh Chodesh Nissan 5489/1729.
