Rav Meir Dan Platzky Klei Chemdah

The Prodigy of Kutno
“Rabbi Meir Dan”, as he was called and known among the Jews of Poland, was a giant among rabbis. He served as the rabbi of the community of Dvart [Warta], the rabbi of the community of Ostrow Mazowiecka, and in his last days as head of the Mesivta yeshiva in Warsaw, the capital of Poland. But holding these positions per se did not add luster to his name; rather it was because of his great personality that these communities themselves became renowned. This personality sprouted and grew in the very heart of Chassidic Poland. He was educated in the lap of pure Chassidism to become a pillar of Torah and education.
