Bobover Rebbe
Dies At 92
New York/(JTA) — Mourners are
remembering the longtime rebbe of the
Bobover chasidic group as an exceptional
leader — one who rebuilt a community
from the ashes of the Holocaust and
influenced the broader Jewish world.
Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam died Aug.
2 at a hospital in the Borough Park sec-
tion of Brooklyn, the neighborhood
where the Bobovers are based and where
he had built a world-renowned syna-
gogue and yeshiva.
Halberstam, 92, was believed to have
been the last remaining chasidic rabbi to
have survived the Holocaust. Born in
Galicia, Halberstam arrived in the
United States in 1946, alone and indi-
gent after his group was largely obliterat-
ed by the Nazis.
During the war, Halberstam
dressed up as ,a nun in order to rescue
other Jews, hiding them in the false
bottom of a coal truck.
Halberstam is widely credited with
rebuilding the Bobover community in
the United States.
There are more than 5,000 Bobover
Jews in Borough Park. A smaller num-
ber live in Israel and Great Britain. Most
of those Jews do not descend from the
group's prewar Polish community, but
were drawn to the sect through the
rebbe's leadership.
In a 1993 book on fervently
Orthodox Jews, Israeli journalist and
JTA correspondent David Landau
described Halberstam as having a
warm, outgoing personality, a welcom-
ing smile, a rare gift for storytelling and
an inexhaustible fund of chasidic tales
that attracted people to his table or fes-
tive meals."
Followers of Halberstam will likely
find the timing of his death — on Rosh
Chodesh Av, the beginning of the nine
days preceding Tisha b'Av — as reli-
giously significant, said Kaplan.
The nine days preceding the holiday
marking the destruction of the First and
Second Temples are observed in the
Orthodox community as a period of
mourning in which people refrain from,
eating meat, shaving, listening to music
and holding festive occasions.
Halberstam's 70-year-old son,
Rabbi Naftali Halberstam, will suc-
ceed him as rebbe.

Corrections
The obituary for Julius Brodsky (Aug. 4)
should have indicated that he is survived
by his daughter and son-in-law, Michelle
and Ed Kaplan.
