The Apter Rav liked to exaggerate.
He once had a coat with a fur collar made for his son R. Yitzchak Meir.
He once said that a Cossack riding on a horse and holding a big spear in his hand could get stuck in the hair of the collar.

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.
