summary

The Chozeh (Seer) of Lublin (1745-1815) was the central Chassidic figure in Poland. He became a legendary miracle maker whose capacity of Ruach HaKodesh to envision a person’s true character as well as public events in the future brought him universal esteem thus engendering his unique title - the Chozeh (Seer).
