Kalonymus Kalman Shapira (or Klonimus Kalmish Szapiro) (or "Shapiro," a more common transliteration of the Polish spelling of his name "Szapiro") (1889–3 November 1943),〔Library of Congress Authorities: Ḳalonimus Ḳalmish ben Elimelekh, 1889-1943〕 was the Grand Rabbi of Piaseczno, Poland, who authored a number of works and was murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust. ==Early years and life before the war== Kalonymus Kalman Shapira was born in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, Poland to his father, the ''Imrei Elimelech'' of Grodzhisk. Named after his maternal great-grandfather, the renowned ''Maor VaShemesh'', he was a scion of a distinguished family, which included Rabbi Elimelech of Lizhensk, the Chozeh of Lublin and the Maggid of Kozhnitz. The Rebbe's was born on the day after Lag BeOmer, 19 Iyar 5649, and his bris was on Yesod SheBeYesod of the Omer. At the age of three, he was orphaned by the death of his father. In 1905 he married Rachel Chaya Miriam, daughter of his nephew Grand Rabbi Yerachmiel Moshe of Kozhnitz. She helped him prepare his lectures and books, even adding pertinent insights of her own. The couple had two children: a son, Elimelech Ben Zion, and a daughter, Rechil Yehudis, both of whom perished in the Holocaust. In 1909 he was appointed rabbi of Piaseczno, near Warsaw, and subsequently attracted many hasidim. He was deeply focused on the education of children and young men, establishing the yeshiva ''Da'as Moshe'' in 1923, which became one of the largest hasidic ''yeshivot'' in Warsaw between the wars.〔Nehemia Polen (1994), ''The Holy Fire: The Teachings of Rabbi Kalonymus Kalman Shapira, the Rebbe of the Warsaw Ghetto'', Jason Aronson Inc., ISBN 0-87668-842-3.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kalonymus Kalman Shapira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
