R. Chaim Thirer of Czernowitz (ca. 1740s – ca. 1813), was a Chassidic leader, a disciple of the Maggid of Zlotchov, and served as rabbi of Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Botoşani, Kishinev (Chișinău) and Czernowitz (Chernivtsi). He was reputed as a holy man, and wondrous tales about him abound. Near the end of his life, he immigrated to Eretz Israel and settled in Safed in 1813, where he composed Shaar HaTefillah and was later buried. His classic works are unique for their clarity and conviction, as well as the enthusiastic Chassidic emotion which they exude.
