Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam (the second) of Bobov (1907-2000), prominent rebbe in recent times. Son of Rebbe Ben Tzion Halberstam, author of Kedushat Tzion (son of the first Rebbe of Bobov, Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam, grandson of the Divrei Chaim of Sanz). In 1931, his father moved from Bobov to Trzebinia, and appointed him as assistant Rabbi in his place in Bobov. Rebbe Shlomo assisted his father in directing the dozens of branches of the large network of yeshivas “Etz Chaim – Bobov” in Galicia. After the Holocaust, he reached the United States where he re-established the Bobov Chassidut. He led his followers for over fifty years, founding communities, yeshivas and Torah institutions in the United States and worldwide (Israel, Belgium and England). Bobov Chassidut is one of the largest Chassidic communities in the world today, numbering tens of thousands of families. His books include Kerem Shlomo, Noam Shlomo, Divrei Shlomo and Chochmat Shlomo.
