Biography
Life
Rav Shlomo Margulies zt"l, the son of Yitzchok Dov Margulies, was the Rav of Zelitschek and a close talmid of the Baal Shem Tov.
He wrote of his Rebbe: "How well do I know with what great holiness he, the Ba'al Shem Tov, conducted himself, with such piety and separation from worldliness. But he especially put his efforts and energy into the service of the heart - tefilla. He davened with complete divorcement from the body and from everything material - hispashtus hagashmiyus - and with tremendous dveikus with the living God."
