Czar Nicholas was born several hours before the Rizhiner. The Rizhiner used to say: “Had I been born before him I would have surely subdued him – now that the reverse is true, I could not completely restrain him.”

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.
