the “Yanuka” Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin, Rabbi Israel Perlow (1869-1922) was orphaned from his father Rabbi Asher of Stolin and appointed Rebbe at the age of four and a half(!). Son-in-law of Rabbi David Twersky of Zlatopol. He died at the age of 53 and was buried in Frankfurt, referred to among Karlin Chassidim as “the Frankfurter”. He left six boys and four girls – Rebbe Moshe the Stoliner Rebbe, Rebbe Avraham Elimelech the Karliner Rebbe, Rebbe Yochanan of Lutzk, Rebbe Ya’akov of Detroit, Rebbe Aharon of Warsaw and Rebbe Asher of Stolin. Most of his descendants were murdered in the holocaust. Rebbe Yochanan of Lutzk and later Detroit (1900-1957) was the sole survivor among his children, grandfather of present Rebbe of Karlin-Stolin and his brother the Lutzk Rebbe.

He and his family perished in the Holocaust.
