summary
Known as the "Shinaver Rav," R. Yechezkel Shraga was the eldest son of R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and one of the foremost Chassidic leaders of his generation. Author of Divrei Yechezkel, he was venerated for his subtlety of mind, diligence and pursuit of truth. He was also a formidable ideological opponent of Zionism and influenced many activists to abandon the movement. See T.M. Rabinowicz, Encyclopedia of Hassidism pp. 178-79
