Aharon ben Jacob Perlov of Karlin (1736 – 1772), known among the
Shlomo of Karlin
. Rabbi Shlomo was in turn succeeded by Rabbi Aharon's son, Asher.
Perlov composed and wrote the famous Sabbath hymn Yah Ekhsof (יה_אכסוף) which is still a widely sung part of the liturgy of the Ḥasidim and has recently become popular among non-Hasidim as well. His ethical will and some collectables are printed in the work of his grandson, Aharon ben Asher of Karlin.[1]
