Rabbi Baruch Yehoshua Yerachmiel Rabinovich, (1915-1998) was an interesting figure; a Rabbi who was professor and Rebbe. He was born in Poland in 1913 to the Rebbe Natan David Rabinovich (1868- 1930). In 1933, he married the only daughter of the Minchat Eliezer Munkatch. His wedding was one of the grandest, most celebrated Hassidic weddings in Hungary. He served as the Av-Beit-Din of Munkatch. During the Holocaust he was deported from Munkatch, and after some time managed finally to get to Eretz Israel. In 1945 he moved to San Paulo, Brazil and returned to Israel in 1963 to become Chief Rabbi of Holon. After 15 years he moved to Petach Tikvah where he headed a Beit Midrash and wrote his books “Binat Nevonim” and “Divrei Nevonim”. His sons from his first marriage are the famous Rebbes of Munkatch and Dinov in the USA. [1], 36, [1] pp. 20 cm. Good condition, light stains.
