R’ Meir Yechiel ben R’ Avrohom Yitzchok Halevi Haldshtok ZY”A, Ostrovtzer Rebbe (1928) Not so well known, but was an absolute genius besides being a great tzadik who fasted most of his life. There is a great tape about his life from Rabbi Berel Wein, available here. Wrote Meir Einei Chachomim (not to be confused with an earlier sefer on Chanukah & Purim by R’ Meir of Kursetchov)
