Biography
Tzvi Hersh Mordechai Bonhardt was born on September 26, 1826, in Przysucha, Poland. His father
Vurka Rebbe, Israel Yitzhak Kalish, whose daughter Tziporah he married. Israel Yitzhak Kalish helped Tzvi Hersh Mordechai to establish his own Hasidic court in Przysucha under the jurisdiction of Vurka. Tzvi Hersh Mordechai was said to have been very much like his illustrious grandfather and was known for his rationalistic and individualistic approach to Hasidism that defined the Peshischa movement.
