Tzvi Hersh Mordechai Bonhardt

Tzvi Hersh Mordechai Bonhardt of Peshischa-Vurka (Yiddish: צבי הירש מרדכי באנהאַרד פון פשיסחה-ווארקא; Polish: Hersz Mordechy z Przysuchy; September 26, 1826 - December 7, 1866) was a 19th-century Polish Hasidic Rebbe and scholar who headed a Hasidic court in Przysucha.

Tzvi Hersh Mordechai Bonhardt was born on September 26, 1826, in Przysucha, Poland.

He was thus raised by his mother Braindel Faiga Raphael (the granddaughter of Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz) and the Vurka Rebbe, Israel Yitzhak Kalish, whose daughter Tziporah he married.

Israel Yitzhak Kalish helped Tzvi Hersh Mordechai to establish his own Hasidic court in Przysucha under the jurisdiction of Vurka.

Tzvi Hersh Mordechai was said to have been very much like his illustrious grandfather and was known for his rationalistic and individualistic approach to Hasidism that defined the Peshischa movement.
