Elimelech of Lezajsk (1717-1787) was the originator of the concept of tzaddikism, fundamental to the existence of Chasidism, and he became the very first tzaddik in Jewish history.
Elimelech is said to have been able to alter divine judgments and cure fatal diseases.
On the anniversary of Elimelech's death on the 21st day of the month of Adar (end of February, beginning of March) the part of the town near to the Jewish cemetery is full of announcements in Yiddish, containing practical advice, such as the way to the telephone, the lavatory and the mikvah.

Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk was a well-known Tzadik, the student of Dov Ber of Mezerich, and the brother of Meshulam Zushia of Anipoli.
Rebbe Elimelech and his brother Zushia of Anipoli traveled around from town to town to Poland as if reenacting an exile – for Hassidic purposes, with the intention of “bringing the multitudes back to the source, inspiring people to repent, and purifying the hearts of the children of Israel”.
However, I am of a different opinion, that Rabbi Elimelech only told him to go to Lancut, and the permission to lead a congregation was not given to him until a long time after this event, that is to say one year prior to the passing of Rebbe Elimelech.

In 1787, he wrote his magnum opus titled Noam Elimelech (Hebrew, The Mildness of Elimelech), in which he stressed the social and religious role of the tzaddik.
Among Elimelech's students were Yaakov Yitzhak Halevi Horovitz of Lublin, Israel ben Shabtay Hepstein, Menachem Mendel of Rymanow (1745-1815) and Moshe Leyb of Sasow.

In the 18th century Lezajsk was the center of hassidism in Poland.
The obejctive of the yearly pilgrimage is to pray to to the soul of Rabbi Elimelech which is believed to descend to Earth on the day of his death.
The pilgrims gather by thousands in the small and incredibly crowded and overheated tomb and spend the entire night in fervent prayer, before they eat and quickly depart for the nearby airports in chartered buses.

 Talk:Hasidic Judaism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
From one point of view it can be treated like normal, 20th century surnames and should not be translated at all (Elimelech Lipman, the name he was referred to by his contemporaries Tzadik Elimelech or a simple transcryption of the name he used, without any English additions).
I think that it would be good to add a name in hebrew script and the transcryption of the yiddish name as well, but the article itself should be under Elimelech of Lezajsk.
This way we'd have one article (Elimelech of Lezajsk) and plenty of redirects from different versions of his name, including the three versions of the town's name in yiddish (Lizhensk, Lezhinsk, Lizhinsk).

It is the 21st of the month of Adar in the Jewish calendar and the anniversary of the death of Zaddik Elimelech Weissblum: a day on which ultra-orthodox followers of Hasidism make a pilgrimage to eastern Poland to commemorate this renowned Hasidic leader, who turned Lezajsk into a centre of Hassidism in the 18th century.
The Hassids believe that the soul of the dead comes back to the place they are buried on the anniversary of their death.
Before the Second World War, Lezajsk was a typical Galician schtetl (a small town or village) with 3,000 Jews out of a total 5,000 inhabitants.
