Zera Avraham, on the Torah. By Rabbi Avraham ben Rabbi Reuven of Corfu. Mantua, [1739]. Stamps of Rabbi "Elimelich Segal of Nyírtass", and two signatures in his handwriting: "Elimelech" (one signature in ink and the other in faded pencil). Rebbe Elimelech Segal Lowy (ca. 1872-Kislev 1942), Av Beit Din of Nyírtass, (Szabolcs region), son of the renowned Rebbe Meshulam Feish Lowy Av Beit Din of Nyírtass (1821-1873). Born to his aging father, who had made a special trip to pray at the gravesite of Rebbe Elimelech of Lizhensk to merit the birth of a son who was consequently named after Rebbe Elimelech. [His father would lovingly call him "Rebbe R' Elimelech]. He was orphaned at infancy. His great brother-in-law Rebbe Yehosef Rottenberg, author of Bnei Shileshim, served as Av Beit Din of Nyírtass and in 1908 relocated to serve as Av Beit Din of Căuşeni. Rabbi Elimelech later continued the lineage as Av Beit Din of Nyírtass. He was renowned for his great piety, as a holy man and wonder-worker. Thousands travelled to Nyírtass to receive his blessings and counsel. During Purim, especially, he would perform wondrous deeds and bless his Chassidim who swarmed to be near him during those days [a detailed testimony of Purim in his presence was printed in the booklet Purim Meshulash B'Tosh (Nyírtass), at the end of Pe'er Meshulam, Jerusalem, 1969]. His sons served as Rebbes: Rebbe Chaim Shlomo – the Rebbe of Khust in the USA; Rebbe Mordechai of Demecser, who perished in the Holocaust, was the father of Rabbi Meshulam Feish Lowy – the Tosher Rebbe in Canada [the eldest Rebbe of our times, passed away recently, in August 2015, at the age of 94].
