About Corbyn Family History

This website was created with the sole intention of sharing my knowledge and the many insights I have made since I first started researching my family history. Almost like a repository of information, research and discoveries, creating a chronicle of events dating back hundreds of years. I would hope that the information on this site will help my distant relatives in their own research.

Rabbi David Ha-Levi Segal (1586-1667)

Rabbi David Ha-Levi Segal was my 10 x great grandfater. Born in Ludmir, Volhynia, Segal was the son of Samuel ha-Levi Segal. His chief Torah teacher was his older brother, Isaac. He became a reputed Talmudic scholar, and married the daughter of Rabbi Joel Sirkis of Brest who was also known as the Bach (ב”ח), and quoted his father-in-law frequently in his works. He was Chief Rabbi of Potelych and also a Mohel.
