Stolin is a town in the Belarusian Polesie (Brest region) renowned as the cradle of the Karlin-Stolin Hasidic dynasty, founded by Aaron the Great of Karlin (1736–1772), disciple of Dov Ber of Mezeritch. The Karlin-Stolin movement, known for its intense high-voiced prayers, exerted a major influence on Hasidism in Lithuania and Belarus. In 1942, the Jewish community of Stolin was entirely exterminated by the Einsatzgruppen and their auxiliaries.
