Rabbi Elazar Menachem Mendel Biderman (1827-1883), son of Rebbe Moishele of Lelów and son-in-law of the son of the Chozeh of Lublin, immigrated with his father to Eretz Israel in 1851. After a short while, Rebbe Moshe died and Rabbi Biderman succeeded him as Rebbe. He was renowned for his prayers and did not miss even one day of prayer at the Western Wall. The Lelów Rebbes were the first Chassidic rebbes who established a Chassidic community in Jerusalem. Until that time, most Chassidic groups settled in Tiberias and Safed whereas mostly Pharisees resided in Jerusalem - disciples of the Vilna Gaon and of the Chatam Sofer. Following the years 1836-1850 (after the earthquake in the Galilee) a Chassidic community began to form in Jerusalem, [among its members: Rabbi Aharon Moshe of Brad, disciple of the Chozeh of Lublin, Rabbi Israel Bak, the printer of Safed, and Rabbi Asher Shapira, the Rabbi of Zalin]. His son, Rebbe Alter Biderman (1862-1933), was born in Jerusalem. His father named him Avraham Bezalel Natan Neta; but still, he was known by the name Alter. In 1894, he traveled to Poland and led a Chassidic community in the city of Sosnowica; there he was called "Der Eretz Israel Rebbe". 3 volumes: [6], 260 leaves; 298 leaves; 300 leaves. Approx. 23 cm.
