Shlomo Halberstam (1908 - August 2, 2000)[1] (Hebrew: רבי שלמה הלברשטאם), was the third Rebbe of Bobov who re-established the Hasidic dynasty in the United States after World War II. Born in Poland,[2] 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[]
Grand Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam rebuilt the Bobov institution in America after the Holocaust. He also rebuilt in another way: he remarried, having lost his first wife and most of their children during the Holocaust.[1]
Grand Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam died in the 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.
