The Tosher Rebbe, R. Meshulam Feish Segal Lőwy (1922-2015), son of R. Mordechai of Demecser, grandson of R. Meshulam Feish Lőwy of Tosh (the first), arrived in Montreal, Canada in 1951, and in 1963 he established the Beit HaLevi enclave of Tosh Chassidism. He was celebrated for his long prayers and devout conduct; serving G-d with incredible devotion. Many flocked to spend Shabbat in his presence, among them some of the leading Chassidic figures in the US and Canada. Some of his Torah thoughts were printed in the series of the Avodat Avodah books.
