His son, Rebbe Chaim Elazar Shapira, outstanding in his knowledge of Torah, Halacha and Chassidut and one of the leading Kabbalists (1872-1937, Otzar HaRabbanim 6243), fought to safeguard the holiness of the Jewish

Rebbe Shmuel Zvi Weiss Ra’avad of Mukacheve (died in 1879), was born in Mukacheve and was a disciple of the Bnei Yissaschar of Dynow, the Maharitz of Rozdil, “Sar Shalom” of Belz, Rabbi Meir of Peremyshlyany and the Mahari of Zhydachiv. The Bnei Yissaschar happened to be in Mukachave and arranged the Chupah (mesader kiddushin) of Rebbe Shmuel Zvi Weiss; and said “Even if I would have come here only for this, it would have been sufficient”. His teacher Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac of Zhydachiv held him in great esteem. He also urged his Chassidim to submit kvitlach to Rabbi Shmuel Zvi and gave his word that “He will be a wonder worker”. His son was Rebbe Yosef Meir of Spinka, author of Imrei Yosef, the first rebbe of the Spinka dynasty.
