This is either a "brick wall" or a "wailing wall" ;)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samuel_ben_Uri_Shraga_Phoebus
"Samuel ben Uri Shraga Phoebus (alternatively, "Or Sharga", "Faivish", "Fayvish", "Faibesh", etc.) (Hebrew: שמואל בן אור שאגרא פיביש) was a Polish rabbi and Talmudist of Woydyslaw in the second half of the 17th century. In his early youth he was a pupil of Rabbi Heshel in Cracow, and on the latter's death he continued his studies under R. Heshel's successor, Rabbi Leib Fischeles, whose daughter he married."
Also other sources (Jewish Encyclopedia, etc) all of which display essentially the same information.
Try as I might I cannot find anything else about Rabbi Leib Fischeles. Or Samuel ben Uri Shraga Phoebus for that matter.
Any ideas o learned ones
