MOSES ELIAKIM BERI'AH BEN ISRAEL:

Polish preacher; born at Cozienice; died there in 1825. He wrote "Be'er Mosheh" (Jusefow, n.d.), homilies arranged according to the parashiyyot of the Pentateuch. It appears from this work that Moses Eliakim was, like his father, Israel of Cozienice, a disciple of Elimelech of Lysensk, one of the active Ḥasidic leaders. He left two unpublished works—"Da'at Mosheh," a homiletic commentary on the Pentateuch, and "Maṭṭeh Mosheh," a commentary on the Pesaḥ Haggadah.
