“You are certainly aware of the fact that for the past two years I was in our Holy Land, thank G-D I have married a fine woman, the daughter of a fine family from Poland… and now, thank G-D I am able to inform that while I was in Israel all the Radzin Hassidim got together… we reestablished the Sod Yesharim Yeshiva of Radzin in the Holy City of Jerusalem…”.

His entire family as well as all of his father-in-law’s family were killed in the Holo-caust while he miraculously survived, emigrated to the USA, and in the year 1954 was crowned as the Admor of Radzin and immigrated to the Holy Land. He was blessed with longevity and until a very old age spread and taught Torah and Hassidism in the city of Bnei Brak.
