R. Nahman of Breslav [d. 1810] once said: “It doesn’t bother me that the Grandfather [Aryeh Leib] of Shpolo [d. 1811] speaks against me. He only speaks about things that people say I do – but I do not do them.”

Recently there have been changes in research and more complex methods and approaches have been introduced that find characteristics unique to late Hasidim.
