He Was known locally as well as all over Lithuanian, hundreds of Jews
and non-Jews flocked to receive his blessing. His picture was in many
homes throughout Lithuania . Among Lithuanians it was unusual since

movement , therefore, the figure of a Lithuanian healer, Rabbi
Mordechai Maoshmina, is a unique phenomenon.

served his first job as a rabbi in Botan . from there he left in Trm"z
to be the rabbi of Korlitz . In Oshmiany, whose name made him famous,
he began serving as a rabbi in Trn"a . In his last years in Trs"h he
was elected as av beit Din/Rabbi of Slonim .

brother of the head of the Hebron Yeshiva , Rabbi Moshe Mordechai
Epstein .

Hundreds of judgments and His law innovations were printed in Trn"t by
his student, Rabbi Yehuda Idel Zisling from Oshmina, the book Hadrat
Mordechai - Hilokim and extension required wordplay secondary and
