He prays for hours on end, meditating on every word, as a result of which he ends the Sabbath very late. Once an "adam gadol", a very learned man, discussed the Halachic implications of the Rebbe's zmanim with the late Rav Shlomo Zalman Auerbach. Reb Shlomo Zalman referred to the Rebbe as a "Pillar of Fire" and advised his questioner that one who touches fire will be burnt. The Rebbe is also the mentor of the famous Hasidic preacher, R. Tzvi Maier Zilberberg who considers himself an Amshinov chassid. The renowned rabbi, Reb Yitzchok "Itche" Meyer Morgenstern, the rosh yeshiva of "Yeshivas Toras Chochom" considers the Amshinov Rebbe the "Tzadik HaDor."
