Description:
Six Chassidic dynasties, going back to the Baal Shem Tov,
converged in the late 19th century Rebbe of Hornosteipel.
This legacy, the foundation of his development as a tzaddik,
was expressed in numerous facets of his highly refined personality
as well as his spiritual achievements. Over a forty-year period,
Reb Mordechai Dov, known to his beloved contemporaries as
Reb Motele, earned a golden reputation as a person possessing
soaring scholarly abilities, a passionate love for every Jew
and palpable sensitivity to any pain or adversity confronting
his Chassidim.
How fortunate
for this generation that the Rebbe’s great-great-grandson,
Rabbi Abraham J. Twerski, M.D., has dedicated his insightful
literary talents to the pleasant task of bringing this outstanding
gadol hador to the attention of today’s reading public. As
a descendant of this renowned dynasty, Rabbi Twerski has collected
the treasures of his heritage and combined them with family
stories — handed down through the generations — of other famous
personages of that era. Photos from Dr. Twerski’s private
collection — even a rare photo of Reb Motele himself — are
included in this absorbing anecdotal biography.
