Rabbi '''Zalman of Lutsk''' was a nephew of the hidden [[tzaddik]] [[Rabbi Kehos]], a close associate of [[Rabbi Adam Baal Shem]], and a devoted attendant of our teacher the [[Baal Shem Tov]]. His father was Rabbi Naftali, who was counted among the circle of [[hidden tzaddikim]] in the era of Rabbi Adam Baal Shem, and who in his youth had known Rabbi [[Yoel Baal Shem]]. Rabbi Zalman was an outstanding Torah scholar, a devoted servant of G-d, and one who cherished solitude.

Rabbi Zalman traveled on several occasions as an emissary of the [[Baal Shem Tov]], carrying out miraculous missions on his behalf.
