Jerusalem: 1st Shevat 1978


Born in Ungvar and raised by his grandfather, the Stropkover Rebbe, R. Abraham Shalom Halberstam. Rabbi Lipschitz-Halberstam was a descendent of both R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and R. Aryeh Leib Lipschitz of Vishnitza (author of Aryeh Devei Ilai) - hence his double surname. He served as Rabbi and Dayan in Jablonka and Bergszasz before his deportation to Auschwitz in 1944. Afterwards, he worked alongside the Klausenberger Rebbe to lift the spirits of the broken-hearted Jewish survivors. He was appointed Chief Rabbi of Bamberg and the districts of Frankonia. He emigrated to Israel in 1949 settling in Ramlah where he sought to influence the local Sephardi population. He moved to Meah Shearim succeeding his uncle as Stropkover Rebbe in 1954.
