The holy Rabbi Yitzchak Meir of Apta-Zinkov was born in 1776. One of the greatest and oldest of the Admorim of his generation.
Already in his father’s life, he was the "Lover of all people" in all matters of the holy court of his father the Tzadik of the generation, who was the most central among the Hasidic courts of that generation. After the death of his great-grandfather, thousands of followers flocked to him to learn and to follow in his ways. He moved his Beth Medrash from Mezibuz to the city of Zinkov.
His father was famous for his love for Israel and brought people’s hearts closer to their heavenly father. The days of his life were filled with charity and kindness, He would pray and work miracles for each and everyone, who turned to him for prayer and salvation. He was the beloved father of the greatest Chasidim of his generation, such as Rabbi Yisrael of Kuznitz, Rabbi Yisrael of Rosin, Rabbi Moshe Zvi of Savran, the ‘Sar Shalom’ of Belz, and more.
Many of the righteous of his generation would consult with him in all their affairs. One of his granddaughters was the wife of the Rebbe Rabbi Yehoshua of Belz, who was very close to his eldest son. His descendants formed many important lineages of Rebbes and Rabbonim.
