Rabbi Menachem Menchin Halpern (1844-1924) was one of the greatest kabbalists if Lithuania and Jerusalem. He established the Beit Midrash "Chevrat Alsheich" in Grodno. The author of the well-known series of books "Hagahot U'Veurim" on the book Etz Chaim (Warsaw, 1891), on Sha'ar HaKavanot (Jerusalem, 1902) Mavoh She'arim (Jerusalem, 1904), on the book Otzrot Chaim (Jerusalem, 1907). Hagahot V'Tikkunim on Sha'ar Ruach haKodesh, Etz Chaim Sha'ar Hahakdamot and Sha'ar HaPesukim (Jerusalem, 1907). He also authored glosses and commentary on Peirush Klali Sefer HaPeliah by the Radbaz (Jerusalem, 1910-1914). In addition authored the book "Kevod Chachamim" in which he disagreed with the Yavetz's claim against the book Chemdat Yamim and proved that the book matches the Ari's Kabbalah and therefore its source is a true kabbalist. In 1901, he immigrated to Jerusalem and lived in Batei Machaseh in the Old City of Jerusalem. He was known as a miracle-worker and became known when he drove out a Dybbuk that clung to an orphan girl (Encyclopedia for the Pioneers of the Yishuv (Hebrew) (1947) Volume B, p. 689).
