R. Yevi [Jacob Joseph of Ostrog (d. 1791)] became a magid [preacher] in Ostrog when he was eighteen. The Bardichever testified that he sensed an illumination – a holy light, [shining from him].

About the Research Institute
Late Hasidism was perceived and presented in research as a movement of institutionalization and entrenchment that lost the initial Hasidic renaissance, and even degenerated. Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
