death year discrepancy

[edit]

There seems to be some confusion in sources about which year he died:

From VIAF:

Encyc. Judaica, 1971: index (Nahum of Chernobyl) with ref. from Menahem Nahum ben Ẓevi of Chernobyl; article Twersky, Hasidic dynasty (Menahem Nahum ben Ẓevi of Chernobyl, 1730-1787)

Upright practices, 1982: t.p. (Menahem Nahum of Chernobyl) p. 21 (tradition designates 1730 as the year of Rabbi Nahum's birth; Rabbi Nahum as he is usually called) p. 24 (d. probably 1797)

more research would be needed... --FeanorStar7 23:48, 8 September 2018 (UTC)
