Rabbi Mordechai of Kremnitz (1745/1746 – 23 June 1820)[1] was a Hasidic rabbi in the city of Kremenets. He is considered by some to be one of the greatest rebbes of his generation.[2]
Mordechai was the son of Rabbi and his wife Sarah Rakhil bat Moshe, the youngest of five brothers.[3] Yechiel was a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov and the Maggid of Mezeritch.[4] He married the daughter of Rabbi Eliezer of Kolbasov. He was a pupil of both his father and of Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk.
Following his father's death, Mordechai assumed his father's position as Rebbe. Many Hasidim across Volhynia travelled to visit him.[5] He composed a Siddur according to Ha'ARI called Tefilah Yeshorah, known as the Siddur Berditschov.[6]
