Rebbe Avraham Elimelech Perlow (1891-1942), fifth son of Rebbe Yisrael, the Yenuka of Karlin-Stolin (known as the "Frankfurter", 1868-1921), and son-in-law of his uncle R. Mordechai Yosef Twersky of Zlatopil. He was the most prominent and renowned of the six sons of R. Yisrael of Stolin, and most of his father's Chassidim in Russia and Eretz Israel followed him.
