Never heard of Reb Levy YItzchak Barditchever zt"l

 

 The פיוט of the first day of Shachris Rosh Hashana
(
אבן חוג) it says : 

"סלוף דינה ביהוסף להנחות"

The Chasam Sofer quotes from the ספר טיב גטין
who the Chasam Sofer  quotes from a
מקובל,


who said, that when
יוסף was in לאה's womb his
name was
יהוסף and when דינה was in רחל's womb
her name was
דין.


After the mothers were switched,
יהוסף lost the ה
and became
יוסף and דין received that ה and
became
דינה ----

Actually, the
טיב גטין doesn't quote this from an
unknown
מקובל but quotes this from his Mechuten
 הרב לוי יצחק מברדיטשוב זצ
.

In all probability, the Chasam Sofer never heard
of the
קדושת לוי and therefore refers to him as 
an unknown
מקובל אחד.


R. Levi Yitzchok Barditchev -
& The Chasam Sofer 
were both Niftar on
כ"ה תשרי
