The Famous Gaon Rabbi Meir Shapira, one of the greatest and most active rabbinical figures of his time, was born in Shotz (Suceava), Romania. A descendant of the famous Rebbi Pinchas Shapira of Koritz, and a follower of the Rebbe of Chortkov, he was known as an infant prodigy and referred to as ‘The Shotzer illuy’, receiving rabbinical ordination at the age of 15.
He served as Rabbi of Glina, Sanok, Piotrkov and Lublin, where after a 7-year-long international fundraising campaign (in the course of which he travelled across Western Europe and the US) he established the internationally famous Yeshivas Chachmei Lublin as a centre for advanced Talmudic studies. He served as President of Agudas Yisroel in Poland, Honorary Secretary of the Moetzes Gedolei Hatorah, as well as Agudas Yisroel deputy in the Polish Parliament from 1923 to 1928. At the Knessia Gedola of Agudas Yisroel in Vienna 1924 he launched the innovative Daf Hayomi universal daily Talmud study program that has been widely adopted in the orthodox Jewish world.
