תיאור

An heir to the Chortkov dynasty, Rabbi Yisroel Friedman is the Rav of

the Chortkover Kloiz in Manchester, England. In this comprehensive book, he

traces Chortkover Chassidus from its origins with Reb Dovid Moshe, son of Rabbi

Yisroel of Rizhin; to its vast dissemination to thousands of Chassidim in prewar

Europe and Eretz Yisrael; from the devastating blows of the Holocaust and its

aftermath, through to the present day. The author thoroughly researched the

distinguished Chortkov legacy, and its genesis with the Holy Rizhiner. He brings

to bear the oral history and written documentation of his heritage. This

significant work is replete with photos and documents of deep interest to every

student of Jewish history. Rabbi Friedman is the author of a previously

published related work, The Golden Dynasty, about Rizhiner Chassidus. As

inspirational as it is informative, The Rebbes of Chortkov brings the reader to

the door of the Rebbes’ court, where their wisdom and wonders can be seen and

felt. In the hands of this talented author and unique authority, the spiritual

nobility and dynamic power of generations of Chortkover Rebbes shine on every

page.
