Meshullam Feivush Heller of Zbarazh (ca. 1742[2]– 12 December 1794) was the author of several Hasidic sefarim.[3]
Rabbi Meshullam Feivush was born to a rabbinic family. His father was a direct descendant of Rabbi Yom-Tov Lipmann Heller[2][3][4][5] and his mother was a descendant of Rabbi Judah ben Samuel of Regensburg.[1] Rabbi Meshullam Feivush was also a descendant of Rabbis Samson ben Pesah Ostropoli[2][5][6] and Solomon Luria.[4]
Rabbi Meshullam Feivush spent most of his life in Zbarazh. He did not serve in any official position.[2] He was primarily a disciple of the Maggid of Zlotshov although he also basked in the presence of the Maggid of Mezritch.[2][3]
His older brother, a non-Hasidic Kabbalist and the Av Beit Din of Dolyna (d. 1786),[2] also authored a sefer with his endorsement which appears in its beginning.[4]
Rabbi Meshullam Feivush was married twice. He had one son by his first wife and two sons by his second wife.[7] He was a close friend of Rabbi Hayyim Tyrer who cites him in his works.[3] He died at Zbarazh, 12 December 1794[3] and was buried at Zbarazh.[1]
