On Wednesday, 16 December 2026 — 6 Teves 5787 — falls the yahrzeit of HaRav Yechezkel Shraga Halberstam zy"a, the Shineve Rav, mechaber of Divrei Yechezkel.
The Shineve Rav zy"a was the eldest son of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz zy"a. He was born, according to the earlier Global Kvittel site and several biographies, in Tarnograd on 20 Shevat 5575 / 1815 (some later references say 1813). He was rav in Rudnik, Rozdol, Shinova, and Stropkov, and he rests in the Beis Hachaim of Shinova, Poland.
He was known for dikduk in halacha, and for a journey to Eretz Yisroel during which he founded a shul and mikveh in Tzfas that is still called the Sanz shul. His Torah was gathered in Divrei Yechezkel, first printed in 1901.
