R. Mordechai of Chernobyl (1770-1837) was the son of R. Nachum of Chernobyl. He maintained a regal court style and fathered eight sons (referred to as the “eight branches of the Menorah”) who all became Chassidic masters in their own right. These men went on to establish Chassidic communities that persist until today, such as Rachmastrivka, Skver, Trisk, Talna, etc. With approbations of both R. Abraham Yaakov of Sadigura and R. Chaim of Sanz.
