Rebbe Aharon (Reb Arele) Roth (1894-1947) was a chassid and disciple of Rebbe Tzvi Elimelech of Bluzhov (Blazowa) and Rebbe Yissachar Dov Rokeach of Belz. He studied in the yeshiva of R. Yeshaya Silverstein in Vietzen (Vac), and was known for his devotion and piety. He established the Shomer Emunim communities in Budapest and Satmar that were dedicated to wholehearted service of G-d. In 1925 he immigrated to Jerusalem, where he again established groups for serving of the Almighty with Chassidic devoutness. From 1930-1939 he returned to Europe, where he lived in Satmar and later in Beregszász (today Berehove, Ukraine). Upon his return to Jerusalem in 1939, he revitalized his chassidim and followers, who continue his legacy until today. His followers now form the Chassidic groups of Toldot Aharon, Shomrei Emunim, Toldot Avraham Yitzchak, and Mevakshei Emuna. His many books (Taharat HaKodesh, Shulchan HaTahor, Shomer Emunim, Mevakesh Emuna, and others) have been published in many editions.
