One of the Tzemach Tzedek’s most distinguished disciples, R’ Isaac’l Chozer – was sent by him to the Rizhiner to study leadership and Chasidism.

He later related that at first, he did not see any great thing in him at all – until Friday eve when he began his Shabbos preparations – he then saw his greatness – he virtually traversed from height to height by the minute.

 

The Rizhiner would smoke his pipe until very late Friday before sundown.
