The holy Rav Rabbi Yissachar Dov Ber was a childhood friend and cousin of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak of Berditchev, whom he befriended when they lived together in Lobratov. Rabbi Yissachar Ber and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak were married to the cousins of the Peretz family of Lobratov (who were descendants of the exile of Spain). Rabbi Yissachar Ber married the daughter of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch Peretz and Rabbi Levi Yitzchak married the daughter of Rabbi Yisroel Peretz of Lobratov. Rabbi Levi Yitzchak and his friend Rabbi Yissachar Ber got close to Chassidus following their relative Rabbi Aryeh Leibush Peretz (the author of "Beis Peretz").
Rabbi Yissachar Ber was eventually appointed Av Beis Din of Zlotchov and corresponded on halachic matters with the greatest of his generation. His disciples included Rabbi Chaim of Chernowitz author of "Sidduro shel Shabbas", who recalls in his Sefer "Eretz HaChaim" about the Ruach HaKodesh he saw in his Rav. Rabbi Yissachar ber immigrated to Eretz Yisroel and arrived in Tiberius on Hanukkah 1795. He passed away in Av of that year and was buried in Safed near the grave of the Holy Alsheich. Written on his tombstone: "Here lies the true Gaon Chassid and modest". Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Komarno said of him that he never even slightly blemished Tzelem Elokim. His Seforim include "Mevasser Tzeddek" on the Torah and "Bas Eini" Shut and Shas innovations.
