Tzvi Hersh Friedlander

Rabbi Tzvi Hersh Friedlander is the present Liske (Hasidic dynasty) Hasidic rebbe.[1][2] He is the brother of the Uhniv (Hivniv) rebbe, author of Chasdei Avraham, a work on visiting the sick in Halacha. His father was Rav Yosef Friedlander, the author of the Tzvi V’Chammid on Torah and the Jewish holidays and a great-grandchild of the Ach Pri Tevuah of Liska. He is the author of the Chamudei Tzvi. He became rebbe in 1971, after the death of his father.[1]

Rabbi Friedlander is also a descendent of Maharsha, as well as Rabbis Judah Loew ben Bezalel, David HaLevi Segal, Joel Sirkis, Isaiah Horowitz, and Naphtali Cohen.[1]

Photos of Rabbi Friedlander are often published in the Jewish Connection, a weekly newspaper serving the Orthodox Jews of New York.
