Tzadok HaKohen was born into a Lithuanian Rabbinic family and then became a follower of the Hasidic Rebbe, Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner of Izbica, and of Yehudah Leib Eiger[3] (grandson of the famed Rabbi AkivaEiger andanother student of Mordechai Leiner), whom he succeeded in 1888.[4] He is a classic example of a Litvish Jew turned Chasidic.

As a young man, he gained widespread acclaim as an illuy (a brilliant Talmudist). Rabbi Zadok refused to accept any rabbinic post for most of his life. He eked out a livingbyhis wife running a small used clothing store. Upon the death of Eiger in 1888, Zadok Hakohen agreed to take over the leadership of the Hasidim. It was then that he began to give his public classes that would take place on Shabbat, Holidays, Rosh Chodesh and special occasions. The transcriptions of those classes were compiled into his work known as Pri Tzadik.

Rabbi Zadok was a prolific writer in all areas of Judaism, Halakhah, Hasidut, Kabbalah, angelology, ethics; he also wrote scholarly essays on astronomy, geometry, and algebra.

One of his lone surviving students was Rabbi Michael Mokotovsky, whose son was Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Mokotovsky, better known by his penname Eliyahu Kitov.
