The monograph is dedicated to Chaim-Zanvl Abramovich, the last Hasidic tzaddik who lived in the USSR. The authors collected and analyzed the stories of the Jews of Moldova and Transcarpathia about the Rebbe, as well as Hasidic collections published in Israel and the USA. The collective memory of Abramovich turns into folklore, and folklore into hagiographic writings. The reader is presented with the hagiographic tradition at the moment of its formation, therefore, the monograph is of interest both to specialists in the field of Jewish history and culture, as well as to anthropologists, folklorists, and religious scholars.
