R. Yisrael Lifshitz (1782-1860) is renowned for his monumental composition Tiferet Yisrael on the six orders of Mishna, which was accepted by the entire Jewish world and has been reprinted in hundreds of editions until this day. He was the son of R. Gedalia Lifshitz, author of Regel Yeshara, and grandson of R. Yisrael Lifshitz, rabbi of Cleves. An outstanding Torah scholar and a foremost leader of German Jewry, he sat studying Torah the entire day, bedecked in Tallit and Tefillin beneath his outer coat, and was renowned as a holy and G-d fearing man. He served as rabbi for over fifty years, in many Prussian communities, including: Wronki, Chodzież, Dessau, Danzig and others. Apart from Tiferet Yisrael on the Mishna, he composed many other books, of homily, novellae and halachic rulings.
His son, the recipient of the letter: R. Baruch Yitzchak Lifshitz (1812-1878), author of Misgeret Zahav - addenda to his father's commentary on the Mishna. His numerous glosses within the Tiferet Yisrael commentary begin with the initials A.B.Y. (Amar [said] Baruch Yitzchak). A great Torah scholar, holy and G-d fearing man. Already in his youth he was ordained by his illustrious father, and was appointed rabbi of Wronki, his birthplace. R. Akiva Eger, who fought the phenomenon of appointing young unmarried men to rabbinic positions, opposed this appointment, see Igrot R. Akiva Eger, Letters 42-49, from Tammuz 1833. This letter discloses that in the winter 1835, R. Baruch Yitzchak was already married to Rebbetzin Mina, and was still residing in Wronki. He later served as rabbi of Landsberg and as Chief Rabbi of the state of Mecklenburg. In 1859, he moved to Hamburg where he taught many disciples, his sermons and lectures earning great acclaim. R. Zalman Spitzer Rabbi of Vienna, son-in-law of the Chatam Sofer, once wrote in a letter regarding R. Baruch Yitzchak: "He is a perfect Tzaddik, who wages G-d's wars in Germany" (Milei DeAvot, II, Orach Chaim section 3).
