Jehiel Mechel, the Zolochever Magid #general
|
Philip Elias <p.elias@...>
Looking for information about Rabbi Jehiel Mechel, the Zolochever Magid (c.
1731-1786), a disciple of the Ba'al Shem Tov (founder of the Hassidic movement). According to the Encyclopedia Judaica, R. Jehiel Mechel was the founder of a dynasty of zaddikim which spread throughout Galicia and Ukraine. Does anyone know the surname of this rabbi (if indeed he had one) and if there are any descendants living today. Thanks, Philip Elias Toronto, Canada p.elias@...

What's the meaning of Mechel? Is it a Jewish
name or Ashkenazic one? Mechel was a sort of nickname of a parent of mine and there is a little town in the Non Valley (now in Italy, untill the first World War under the Austro-Hungarian Empire) called Mechel, and written in the same way. Thank you. Felice ZADRA |

The name Yechieyl Mekhel is Legal Hebrew double name, the name Yechieyl being of Hebrew origin (Chronicles I 15:18), the secon Mekhel being a Yiddish name and a kinui to Yechieyl. In a Jewish divorce document (get) the name must be written as Yechieyl hamechune Mekhl/Mikhl. The names Mekhl/Mikhl also form a Legal double name with the Hebrew name Michaeyl: Michaeyl hamechune Mekhl/Mikhl. In civil documents, his name could have appeared as Mekhl/Mikhl, rather than in this double name format. I am not aware that the Yiddish name Mekhl was used in linkage to any other Hebrew name. G. L.

Genners more knowledgeable, please correct me if I'm wrong. My wife's greatuncle who lived in Zlochov and was a rebbe in the Yeshiva, I believe was named after Yechiel Michel.
