Yosef Patzanovski

Rabbi Yosef Patzanovski was an early 20th-century Polish rabbi and a Chasid of the Ger Chasidic dynasty. He worked as a wood-trader and businessman but spent most of his time learning and writing Torah and Talmud commentaries. Patzanovski published the first three volumes of Pardes Yosef, his celebrated Torah commentary, on the books of Genesis, Exodus, and Leviticus, between 1930 and 1939. World War II prevented him from publishing volumes on Numbers and Deuteronomy.
