רבי אפרים פישל שפירא מסטריקוב
Rabbi Efraim Fishel Shapiro of Stryków
The first Strikover Rebbe — not the later rebbes of Stryków
Founder of the Strikover chassidic line and one of the early chassidishe rebbes, a talmid of the Maggid of Mezritch and of Reb Elimelech of Lizhensk; the later Strikover Rebbe Elimelech Menachem Mendel Landau (d. 1936) is buried in the Okopowa Street cemetery in Warsaw and other Strikover rebbes are buried in Eretz Yisroel and America, so make sure you are looking for this one.
