Shlomo Halberstam (third Bobover rebbe)

Shlomo Halberstam (1907 - August 2, 2000) (Hebrew: רבי שלמה הלברשטאם‎), was the third Rebbe of Bobov who re-established the Hasidic dynasty in the United States after World War II. He was the oldest son of Rabbi Ben Zion Halberstam (1874–1941) of Bobov, who was murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators in the Holocaust.

Rebuilding

Both he and a son his successor Naftali survived and rebuilt in America. He also rebuilt in another way: he remarried, having lost his first wife and most of their children during the Holocaust.[1]

Halberstam died in summer of 2000, and was succeeded by his oldest son, Rabbi Naftali Halberstam (1931–2005).

Legacy

A selection of his teachings were recorded in the book Kerem Shlome.

Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam, a son from the second wife, became Rebbe after Naftali.[1]

In 2016, the first edition of Divrei Shlomo, a new and revised selection of teachings was published by his son Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam, the current Bobov Rebbe. The same year was also published the first edition of Chuchmes Shlomo, a new and revised selection of teachings, by his student Yechezkel Shlaff of London.

gollark: This whole ☭ annihilation mechanism just seems ridiculous.
gollark: No, the ☭-¬☭ annihilation causing such a scenario was implausible, not apiochronoformics.
gollark: Anything THAT overpowered would have been patched out ages ago.
gollark: This seems implausible. Not only would this violate causality and many other things, there's no plausible mechanism for how this works, and GTech™ testing *frequently* appeared to cause ☭-¬☭ pair production and annihilation which did not destroy the universe.
