The Shpoler Grandfather came with R. Rafael {Bershader?} to R. Pinchas Koretzer – but the Shpoler Grandfather only stayed there for two weeks and then fled. He said: “I fear his fire – he will burn me yet.”
R. Rafael nevertheless remained forever. This is a tradition in R. Pinchas Landau’s family –contrary to that which is written in Yitzhak Werfel’s Sefer ha-Hasidim, page 13. There Werfel says that the Shpoler Grandfather was raised there.
