I recall my late great Uncle speaking with wonder about his youth in
Chernovitz and Sadagora, and in particular his remembrances of being
in the presence of the Sadigera Rebbe. Stories I have heard is that my
great Uncle, his sister, my late grandmother, and their family lived
next door to the Sadigera Rebbe. They were wealthy Jews, not
necessarily Hasidic, who likely supported the dynastic court of the
Sadigera Rebbe in some way.

For more information on the very complex and problematic socio-
religious context of the uniquely opulent Hasidic court in Sadagora see:
