He was ben acher ben from Rav Pinchas Koritzer and his father was Koritzer Rebbe

זכיתי להכיר את הרב שלמה דוב שפירא, , עקב עיסוקי בהוצאת הספר “אמרי פנחס השלם” לרבי פנחס מקוריץ. הרב שפירא עודד מאוד את הוצאת הספר. הוא התגלה לפני כאישיות מקסימה, בחכמתו, בענוותנותו, ובנדיבות ליבו.
אני בטוח,כי מי שלהכיר דמות זו – לא יישכחנה לעולם. יהי זכרו ברוך!
