Kolpik of the Shtefanesht Rebbe
Worn by the holy Ribnitzer
Rebbe ZTSVK"L

The treasurer of the Ribnitzer
Rebbe of blessed and righteous
memory, Rabbi Yitzhak Tehilim,
may his light shine, told me that he
saw a Russian Jew bring the kolpik
to the holy Ribnitzer Rebbe, after
he emigrated to the US leaving
all possessions behind. The holy
Ribnitzer Rebbe immediately
wore it, even though, in the US,
he refused to wear anything but
new clothes, because it was the
kolpik of the holy Shtefaneshter
Rebbe of blessed and righteous
memory. This Kolpik is seen on
the righteous man’s head in the
picture on page 114.
