Rav Shaul Yedidya Elozor Taub Modzitzer Rebbe, Imrei Shaul (Kislev 16, 5708 / 1947 - 76th Yahrzeit)

Rav Shaul Yedidya Elozor Taub (the Imrei Shaul), the second Modzhitzer Rebbe, was born in Osherov in 1886, and assumed the leadership of Modzitz upon the passing of his father Rav Yisrael, the Divrei Yisrael, in 1920. From 1940 until 1947 the Rebbe lived in Brooklyn, New York. Rav Shaul was probably the most prolific Chassidic composer of all time, with the total output numbering close to a thousand compositions.
