R. Meir Shapiro (1887-1933), Rabbi of Glina, Sanok, Piotrków and Lublin, dean of the Chachmei Lublin yeshiva and founder of Daf Yomi, one of the founders of Agudat Yisrael and leading rabbi in his times. He was one of the youngest and most dominant rabbis in the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah. An excellent orator, and an active communal worker, he was also a member of the Polish Sejm. R. Meir passed away without leaving behind any offspring, yet he himself would say that he has two children – the first being Daf Yomi, and the second the Chachmei Lublin yeshiva.
