Born in Teplik, Ukraine, he became active in the Breslover community in nearby Uman, where he married the sister of Abraham Chazan . Chazan's father, Nachman Chazan , was the closest disciple of Reb Noson ( Nathan Of Breslov ), who was in turn the closest disciple of Rebbe Nachman Of Breslov . Alter Tepliker pioneered the publication of Breslover teachings on specific topics. His ten books include: ''Hishtafchut HaNefesh'' ("''Outpouring of the Soul''"—on the topic of ''hitbodedut''-meditation), ''Meshivat Nefesh'' ("''Restore My Soul''"—on the topic of inner strength), ''Or Zoreiach Haggadah'' ("''The Breslov Haggadah''"—on the Passover Haggadah ), a commentary on Pirkei Avot-''Ethics of the Fathers'', and ''Mei HaNachal'' ("''Waters of the River''"—a commentary on Rebbe Nachman's Likutey Moharan . Breslover leaders of the following generation, such as Shmuel Horowitz and Yitzhak Gelbach , attributed their initial interest in Breslov teachings to their first exposure to Alter Tepliker's ''Hishtafchut HaNefesh''. Alter Tepliker fell victim to a Cossack uprising during the Ukrainian struggle for independence in 1919 . He was murdered in a synagogue while holding a Torah scroll. REFERENCES
