Tiktinsky (Mir)

Shmuel Tiktinsky and his oldest son, Avrohom, who both died (separately) in 1835,[2] were the first two of this family to facilitate the success of the Mir.

At that time, Shmuel's second oldest son, Chaim Leib, was eleven years old.

"[1] Chaim Leib "insisted that the student must devote himself solely to the texts and the commentaries" and reduced deployment of pilpul.

[1] This brought in more students, and in 1867, with the death of the other principal, he "was entrusted with the entire control" of the Mir.
