Person · 5599–5657 AM · 1839 CE — 1897 CE
Rabbi Aharon Perlow of Koidanov רבי אהרן פרלוב מקוידנוב
the third rebbe of Koidanov; compiler of the Koidanov prayer book
He took the court in 1870 after his father, Rabbi Baruch Mordechai; he was also rabbi in Lechovitch—so the Koidanov house returned to its root.
In 1877 the prayer book Or ha-Yashar, which he compiled, appeared in Vilna; by it the prayer usage of more than one court was shaped. His also is the Nireh Or, a commentary on the Or Ne'erav of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, which came out in 1899, after his death.
He died on 26 Elul 1897.
