Lvov - regulations for a meat shop in order to receive 'Hechsher'- in his handwriting and signature - Lvov 1909 Aryeh Leib of Lwów (1840–1928) married Ḥana, the daughter of Tsevi Hirsh Orenstein, the rabbi of Brisk. After the authorities became aware of the fact that Orenstein was not a Russian citizen, the latter was expelled from Russia with his family. Aryeh Leib moved to Galicia with his father-in-law, first to Rzeszów and then to Lwów. Orenstein was then appointed rabbi of Lwów in 1875, and Aryeh Leib was a judge in the religious court of that city from 1881, later serving as head of the court. After Orenstein’s death, Aryeh Leib was a candidate to replace him, but he was not appointed to the position until 1906. He was the final rabbi of Lwów before the Holocaust depleted the community. Aryeh Leib published a book of responsa by his father-in-law, with commentary, titled Milḥamot Aryeh. He also published a collection of his own responsa, Mitspeh Aryeh, along with Mukdam u-me’uḥar (Early and Late; 1920), about the lives of the sages of the Mishnah and the Talmud.
