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. .
