Meir Auerbach (1815-1878), was born in Poland and served as Rav of several prominent Jewish communities including Kalisch. He was known as the Imrei Binah after his acclaimed Sefer. In 1858, he immigrated to Eretz Yisroel, settling in Yerusholayim, where he filled a vital leadership role. He is also famous for introducing the custom in Yerusholayim which does not permit musical instruments, other than percussion, to be played at weddings. R. Avigdor Yehuda HaLevi Leventhal (1837-1889), served as Rav in Blashki and later in Kolo. He was a tremendous Talmid Chochom and was greatly respected by many of the Gedolim and Tzadikim of his time.
