(Elul 3, 5591 / 1831 - 193rd Yahrzeit)
Rav Menachem Tvzi was born in the year 5564/תקס''ד. He was renowned as a genius even in his youth. He was appointed Dayan and posek of Yarmouth, and on the day of his passing (at the young age of 27) he had been appointed the Av Beis Din of Beshorani.
The Chida’s sefer Shem HaGedolim cites the sefer Yad Yosef: Hilchos Shabbos by Rav Menachem Tzvi Rosenberg’s son, the famed Rav Yosef Yuzpa, Av Beis Din of Lodani: “When my father, Rav Menachem Tzvi, passed away, he was eulogized by my grandfather, Rav Dovid. My grandfather said that he had always feared that his son would die young because once, on Erev Yom Kippur, his own rebbe, Rav Wolf Boskowitz, had blessed him and foretold that he would merit a holy son who would shine with the light of Torah but would not have a long life. And so it was fulfilled in my father, the gaon and tzaddik.”
He passed away on 3 Elul. תקצ''א/5591
