Two books by R. Menachem Nachum of Chernobyl – Yismach Lev and Meor Einayim – were published in Slavita in 1798. In later editions (from 1810), both parts were published together under the title Meor Einayim.
The maggid R. Menachem Nachum Twersky of Chernobyl (1730-1798) was one of the founders of Chassidut and the progenitor of the Chernobyl dynasty. He studied directly from the Baal Shem Tov and was a close disciple of the Maggid of Mezeritch.
