Rabbi Pinchas Shapiro, also known as the Rebbe of Koretz, was born to a long line of talmudic scholars. When the family moved from Shklow to Myropil, his father, Rabbi Abraham Abba Shapiro, who had been a staunch opponent of Chasidut, began to study with its founder, the Baal Shem Tov. Rabbi Pinchas followed suit, joining the Baal Shem Tov’s inner circle and becoming a respected chasidic leader in his own right. He was reputed to have written one manuscript, which was not printed, but many of his teachings were collected and published by students.
