The Piacetzna's brother was Rav Yishaya Shapira. He was a Talmud of Rav Kook and compiled the sefer called "Eretz Chafetz" with Torahs from his Rebbe. Rav Yishaya brought together toras eretz yisrael and his own life and background together. Coming to Israel was not easy for him, but he had a desire to be there so he made it there. Not only that, but when he got there, he took off his chassidish dress and went to work in the field until his co-workers realized who he was.
