Detailed
Description		    Hasidic sermons by R. Mordecai b. Menahem Nahum Twersky of Chernobyl (1770–1837). He replaced his father as maggid in Chernobyl, where he was born. He was the real founder of the Chernobyl dynasty of zaddikim. Unlike his father, who had spread the teachings of hasidism while wandering and living in poverty, R. Mordecai lived in a splendid house and exercised his functions as leader in opulence and power. While maintaining a high standard of living he introduced the payment of ma'amadot, a financial contribution which every hasid paid for the benefit of the zaddik's "court," collected by emissaries sent from Chernobyl. He was revered by hasidim who traveled to visit him in their thousands. His outstanding pupil was R. Israel Dov Baer, the maggid of Weledniki, whose She'erit Yisrael was an important hasidic treatise of his time.
