A contemporary of the Baal Shem Tov and early Chassidic masters, he was one of the first disseminators of Chassidic teachings. His works also include many teachings in the names of the disciples of the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezeritch, Rebbe Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov and Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Premishlan. He refers to Rebbe Yechiel Michel of Zlotchov as ”my teacher”. His works include: Chelkat Binyamin, commentary on the Passover Haggadah; Ahavat Dodim, commentary to Shir HaShirim and Amtachat Binyamin on Megillat Kohelet. All of his works were published posthumously, by his son Rebbe Asher Zelig. Rebbe Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, in his approbations to Chelkat Binyamin and Amtachat Binyamin, describes Rebbe Binyamin as a ”righteous and G-dly man”.

Stamp of Rabbi ”Moshe Nachum Yerushalimski Rabbi of Kielce and the region”  Rabbi Moshe Nachum Yerushalimski (1855-1916), a leading Halachic authority in his generation. Already in his youth, he corresponded with prominent Torah scholars of the time, and responsa to him are found in the books Shoel UMeshiv by Rabbi Yosef Shaul Nathansohn, Shem Aryeh by Rabbi Aryeh Leibush Bolechover, Shaarei De'ah by Rabbi Chaim Yehuda Leib Sosnitser and others. Some of his responsa relate to difficult topics in the laws of Agunot and Kashrut (at the young age of seventeen, the Shoel UMeshiv requested that he sign a Heter Me'ah Rabbanim). He travelled to Sanz as a young man and the Divrei Chaim was very fond of him.
