The incident which more than anything else brought the name of the Gaon before the great 10 The Gaon, R. Elijah Wilna masses of Jewry, not only of Lithuania and Russia but also of Poland and other coun- tries, was his bitter fight against Chassidism. That the rush of the flood of Chassidism stopped at the gates of Wilna and that even in the coun- tries like Galicia and Poland, the large com- munities, the seats of Jewish intelligence were not swept away by this flood, is mainly due to the Gaon.... The Gaon issued his decree of excom- munication against the Chassidim on the night following the Day of Atonement of the year 1796. On the eve of the next Day of Atonement he became very ill and died a few days later, on the third day of the Feast of Tabernacles, Octo- ber 17, 1797, at the age of 77 years and six months. The Feast of Joy was turned into days of mourning for the community of Wilna, for they felt that their greatest intellectual and spir- itual light had been put out. R. Abraham Danzig in his funeral oration over the Gaon speaks of seventy books composed by the latter, and the same statement is made by R.
