The Slavita Printing Press, Founded by R. Moshe Shapira Rabbi of Slavita
The Jewish printing press in Slavita (Khmelnytskyi Province, Western Ukraine), operated between 1790 and 1837. The founder of the printing press was the rabbi of the city, R. Moshe Shapira (1762-1840), son of the renowned R. Pinchas of Korets. Already in his youth, he showed exceptional talent in scribal writing, drawing, carving and etching. His holy father encouraged him to develop his talent, in order to acquire these professions. In the early 1790s, R. Moshe was appointed rabbi of Slavita, yet he concurrently established his famous printing press, not wishing to utilize Torah as a livelihood. The typeface used in the printing press was designed and fashioned by R. Moshe. Apart from the printing press, he also established workshops for the production of the paper and type. A large portion of Slavita's Jews earned their livelihood in an honorable way in one of the many divisions of the printing firm. Slavita books were reputed in the Jewish world for their beauty, splendor and accuracy; as well as for the owner of the press, R. Moshe, who was revered by the great Chassidic leaders. R. Moshe of Slavita was close to the Baal HaTanya, R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi, who commended him: "Exceptional in Torah, fear of G-d is his treasure, of holy descent". Sipurim Nora'im by R. Yaakov Keidner (Lviv, 1875) relates the wondrous account of how the Baal HaTanya assisted R. Moshe in attaining a government license for his printing press.
A special advantage of this printing press was that it only produced sacred books, and its type was never desecrated by profane books. Most of the workers were G-d fearing Jews. According to a famous Chassidic tradition, the equipment and type were immersed in a mikveh before use (regarding the printing press in Slavita, see: Haim Dov Friedberg, History of Printing in Poland, Tel Aviv, 1950, p. 104; Ch. Lieberman, Ohel Rachel, I, New York, 1980, pp. 199-202; Sh.D.B. Levine, History of Chabad in Czarist Russia, Brooklyn, 2010, p. 61).

Words of Torah Leaders in Praise of the Printing Press and the Talmud Editions
Leading Torah scholars in Russia, Poland and Lithuania, Chassidim and Mitnagdim, held R. Moshe Shapira and his firm in greatest esteem, as they write about him:
"If not for him, Torah would have G-d forbid been forgotten" (R. Avraham Abele Posweller in his second letter, printed at the beginning of Tractate Eruvin, Slavita 1836); "They raised the Torah banner in our country through their printing press" (R. Chaim Kohen Rappaport, rabbi of Ostroh, ibid.); "The true Tzaddik, who has enlightened the Jewish people… for the past forty years, has caused great benefit to the Jewish people through his excellent printing press, producing all holy books large and small, old and new, using good quality paper and a beautiful typeface" (Rebbe Mordechai of Chernobyl, ibid.); "…the world was barren of Torah, holy books and Talmud volumes were not available in the world at all, apart from those owned by several individuals, prominent wealthy men. Even in the study halls of bigger towns it was difficult to find a complete Shas… and when R. Chaim Volozhin established the yeshiva [the Volozhin yeshiva, founded 1803], many volumes of Talmud were required, and they were compelled to collect volumes of Talmud from various large cities for the yeshiva students. And when the rabbi of Slavita realized that there is a demand for volumes of Talmud in the world, he printed several hundred sets, large and small, and since they were received favorably, they were distributed throughout the world" (R. Moshe Shmuel Shmukler-Shapiro, in his book Toldot Rabbenu Chaim MiVolozhin, Jerusalem 2003 edition, pp. 26-27).
