"Berdichev was a very large Jewish city not far from Kiev.  It was home to Rabbi LeviYitskhak of Berdichev (1740-1810), a very famous and important early leader of the Chasidic movement.  He was much beloved throughout Ukraine for his non-confrontational style, his warmth, and his wisdom."       - David Chapin
