Komarno

Galicia

Komarno, a town in eastern Galicia (today Komarno, Lviv Oblast, western Ukraine), was the seat of the Komarno chasidic dynasty, noted for its devotion to Kabbalah. Its central figure, Rabbi Yitzchak Eizik Yehuda Yechiel Safrin of Komarno (1806-1874), was a prolific kabbalistic author whose Torah commentary Heichal HaBerachah drew on the teachings of the Arizal and the Baal Shem Tov.
