Rabbi Yitzchak Chayut, author of Zera Yitzchak (1660-1726), disciple of Rabbi Heshel of Cracow, who wrote 13 works, from among which only his composition on the Mishna was published. He was the great grandson of Rabbi Yitzchak Chayut, Rabbi of Prague, (1538-1610) who wrote "Appei Ravrevei". Two facts are told about his great holiness. One fact concerns his coming before the Holy Throne after his passing. The second is that he said that he would see to it, that for the next ten generations, whenever his grandchildren will come to his gravesite to pray in times of troubles, their prayers would be answered.
