Aharon Sorasky was the author of Shelucha DeRachmana,
which is the Hebrew-language biography of
Rabbi Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz.

The following information about Aharon Sorasky was
copied from the WikiPedia article titled Aharon_Sorasky:

===================================

Rabbi Sorasky was born on April 28, 1940, and is a Slonimer chossid.

He began his writing career with the Hamodia
and worked for the Netzach publishing company.

He has been hired by several Hasidic courts
to write biographies about their rebbes.

Rabbi Hanoch Teller wrote that “for decades, Rabbi Surasky
has established himself as the most eminent, reliable and
stylistically graceful biographer of our time–perhaps of all time.”

Rabbi Teller also praises him as a
“serious talmid chacham and erudite scholar.”[1]

Rabbi Simcha Wasserman praised him for his work, Ohr Elchonon,
about Rabbi Wasserman’s father, saying,
“Rabbi Aharon Sorasky, the distinguished author and scholar,
gathered and organized the material into a justly acclaimed
Ohr Elchonon in Hebrew. Its accurate portrayal of my father’s character,
accomplishents, and teachings is an eloquent tribute
to Rabbi Sorasky’s understanding and skill.”[4]

Rabbi Gedalia Anemer, Rosh Yeshiva of Yeshiva of Greater Washington,
called Rabbi Sorasky’s biography on Rabbi Yekusiel Yehuda Halberstam,
Lapid HaEsh, “an exceptional work which portrays the life of the great tzadik
and his many contributions to Klal Yisrael (the Jewish people).”[5]
