summary

R. Yisrael of Chortkov was one of the major pre-war Chassidic Rebbes. The eminent R. Meir Shapiro of Lublin who was one of his most ardent followers was quoted as saying: “I am convinced that should the Messiah arrive today, the Rebbe of Chortkov would be the Melech (king) of Israel.” His Chassidic discourses were published in a number of volumes including Yismach Yisrael, Ginzei Yisrael and Nezer Yisrael.
