R. Dovid of Tolna stated, “It was fated for me that, while I was residing in Vasilkov, a substantial number of non-Jews would pass through on their pilgrimage to Kiev. However, now that I reside in Tolna, a significant number of “dead” [Bratslav] hasidim en route to Uman pass through Tolna.”
R. Dovid of Tolna as well actively pursued Bratslav hasidim. In Tolna, the works of R. Nakhman were deemed to be prohibited, comparable to heretical books [literally: unkosher books].
