Rabbi '''Moshe Chaim Ephraim of Sudylkiv''' ([[5508]] (1748) – [[17 Iyar]] [[5560]] (1800)), best known by the name of his work the '''''Degel Machaneh Ephraim''''', was a grandson and disciple of the [[Baal Shem Tov]]. He was celebrated as a maggid — a preacher and oral teacher whose every word was like a precious gem — but unlike other members of his family, he did not lead an independent Chassidic court.

== Biography ==
He was born in [[5508]] (1748) to his father Rabbi [[Yechiel Ashkenazi]] and his mother Rebbetzin [[Adel]], daughter of the [[Baal Shem Tov]].

In his youth he merited to know his grandfather the Baal Shem Tov personally, and retained Torah teachings he had heard directly from him — teachings he later published in his work ''Degel Machaneh Ephraim''.<ref>The book was released in a new and enhanced edition by the Institute for the Glorification of Chassidic Books, ''[[Pear Mikdoshim]]''.</ref>

After the passing of the Baal Shem Tov, he became a disciple of his uncle Rabbi [[Tzvi, son of the Baal Shem Tov]]. On [[7 Sivan 5521]] (1761), when Rabbi Tzvi stepped back from leading the broader [[Chassidic movement]] and relocated to [[Pinsk]], Rabbi Moshe Chaim Ephraim went with him.

He also drew deeply from the teachings of Rabbi [[Yaakov Yosef of Polnoye]], author of the ''Toldos Yaakov Yosef''.

He served as maggid (preacher) in the town of Sudylkiv, and was widely known for his gift of oral teaching and preaching — though he did not establish a Chassidic court of his own.<ref>Unlike his brother Rabbi [[Boruch of Mezhibuzh]], who became a prominent Rebbe.</ref>

His influence was felt among the disciples of both the [[Baal Shem Tov]] and [[the Maggid of Mezeritch]]. Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh of Somaritcht, for instance, mentions his influence in his work ''Kesem Paz''. It is also widely held that he had a formative influence on Rabbi [[Nachman of Breslov]], having offered him words of encouragement and inspiration on the day of his [[bar mitzvah]].

Around [[5547]] (1787) he returned to [[Mezhibuzh]], where he passed away on [[17 Iyar]] [[5560]] (1800).
