Rebbe Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum of Nadvorna (1903-1978), son of Rebbe Itamar Rosenbaum and son-in-law of his uncle Rabbi Eliezer Ze'ev of Crăciuneşti (Kretsnif). From a young age, he excelled in Torah scholarship and holiness and his prayers were exceptionally inspiring. According to the custom of the Nadvorna Chassidism, he began serving as Rebbe while his father was still alive and in 1928, he opened his own court in the city of Siret in Bukovina. Already then, he was famous as a wonder worker and people flocked to see him from all over the region.
After the Holocaust in 1948, he moved from Romania to Eretz Israel and was the first Nadvorna Rebbe to arrive there. He settled in Jaffa where he established his Yeshiva. In 1961, he moved together with his Yeshiva, Ma'amar Mordechai, to Bnei Brak. In Bnei Brak, the Nadvorna Chassidism expanded and more institutes were established until the community grew to be the important Chassidism it is today. The Rebbe was very much esteemed by the Tzaddikim of his generation and many wonderful stories are related about the salvations he brought, and of his prayers which were wondrously answered.
His sons: Rebbe Ya'akov Yissachar Ber, who established the central Nadvorna institutes in Bnei Brak. His son, the Bachur Yitzchak Yehuda Yechiel Isaac, was shot by a bullet of the British Army and died on the deck of a boat, just as he was arriving to the shores of Eretz Israel during the British Mandate. The Rebbe's son-in-law is the renowned Rebbe of Kretsnif Rabbi Moshe David Rosenbaum.
