At the end of his life, he moved to Cracow. [His grandson, Rabbi Moshe Halberstam – one of the Rabbis of Haeda HaCharedit – traveled in his youth from Jerusalem to Krakow, to lay tefillin at a Bar-Mitzva at the home of the grandfather, but at that time WWII broke out. Miraculously he managed to escape back to Eretz Israel; his grandfather escaped to the Omsk forests and perished from hunger].
