Rebbe Tzvi Elimelech Shapira of Bluzhov (c. 1841–1924) was the son of Rabbi David Shapira of Dynów, author of Tzemach David, and the grandson of the renowned Bnei Yissaschar. He was recognized from his youth as a prodigious scholar and studied under great Chassidic masters, particularly his primary teacher, Rabbi Chaim of Sanz. In 1883, he was appointed as rabbi of Bluzhov, where he established his Chassidic court, later moving to Rzeszów. He became known by the title of his work, Tzvi LaTzadik.
