The book Beit Yisrael comprises a compilation of sermons following the order of the weekly Torah portions (skipping many portions), delivered at unknown dates. The book was printed about three years after the passing of the author, the sermons being edited by R. Yosef HaKohen Rappaport, who also published R. Tzvi Hirsh's other writings. R. Yosef Rappaport was the son-in-law of R. Yechiel Michel, R. Tzvi Hirsh's only son, who died in his father's lifetime.
Rebbe Tzvi Hirsh Eichenstein, the Ateret Tzvi of Zidichov (1763-1831), was known by the name "Sar Beit HaZohar" due to his exceptional knowledge of kabbalah. From a young age, he was renowned as an outstanding genius whose knowledge encompassed all facets of the Torah.
