Sholom Rokeach (1781 – September 10 1855), also known as the Sar Sholom (Hebrew: ?? ?????, "Angel of Peace"), was the first Belzer Rebbe. To Belzer Hasidim, he is known as "Der Ershter Rov" (the first rabbi), but in the city of Belz itself he was called "Der Alter Rov" (the old rabbi) in deference to the Bach, who presided as rabbi of Belz in the sixteenth century.
