One of the prime students of the Maggid of Mezeritch and founder of Chasidism in Poland. He was drawn to Chasidut by his brother, the famed Rebbe Zusha of Hanipol, who traveled with him to the Maggid. They both accepted upon themselves three years of exile, wandering from place to place while spreading the teachings of their master wherever they passed. After the Maggid's death, Elimelekh settled in Lizhensk, which became a focal point of the movement's spread into Galicia and Poland. He did not write his own material, but his Sabbath lectures were recorded by his disciples and collected by his son Elazar and published a year after his death under the title "Noam Elimelekh". He also wrote "Tzetl Katan", a small handbook containing a seventeen-point program of spiritual improvement, as well as "Hanhagot HaAdam", a list of customs for all pious Jews to follow. His grave in Leżajsk, Poland, is a popular pilgrimage site visited by thousands, particularly on the anniversary of his death on the 21st of the Hebrew month of Adar
