<b>The holy Rabbi Chaim Chaikel of Amdur, of blessed memory</b> - was brought close to his teacher, the Maggid of Mezritch, by Rabbi Aharon the Great of Karlin, who told him that there is a prepared lamp in Lithuania that only needs to be lit. He spread Chassidut in Lithuania and suffered greatly from the Mitnagdim. He is frequently mentioned in the writings of the Mitnagdim against Chassidut. Great tzaddikim greatly praised his fear of heaven and his staying awake for a thousand nights studying Torah and serving God; it is also mentioned in "Tiferet Shlomo" by the holy Rabbi of Radomsk that the hair of his head fell out due to his immense fear of the Almighty. He passed away on 23 Adar 5547 (1787).
