Rabbi David Solomon Eibeschutz (1755-1813), author of the beloved Arvei Nachal, was a halakhist and homilist who served as rabbi in a string of towns across eastern Galicia and Bessarabia before settling in the Land of Israel. His Arvei Nachal — a wide-ranging commentary and collection of sermons on the Torah, woven through with Hasidic and ethical teaching — became one of the most popular works of derush in the Jewish world. In his later years he made aliyah to Safed, where he taught and where he was buried near the resting place of the Arizal. (Sources differ on his exact birthplace, a village called Ozeriany/Jezierzany in the Ternopil region.)

What they did here
His birthplace was the village of Jezierzany (Ozeriany), a place that today falls within Ternopil Oblast, Ukraine, and that belonged to Poland until 1939. The family into which he arrived in 1755 was one of modest means.
