Yisroel Moshe Friedman (July 23, 1955 – August 10, 2020) was the sixth

dynasty. He led his court from Bnei Brak
, Israel.

Early years

Yisroel Moshe Friedman was born on July 23, 1955, in

Ruzhiner dynasty, and Rabbi Moshe Friedman of Boyan-Cracow. At that time, his paternal grandfather, Rabbi Mordechai Sholom Yosef Friedman (the Knesses Mordechai), served as Sadigura Rebbe. He attended Yeshivas Ruzhin for yeshiva ketana and then the Ponevezh Yeshiva, where he became one of the top students.[2]

London

In 1979, Friedman married Sara Feldman of London,

first Ruzhiner Rebbe, he opened the Ohr Yisrael shul in Golders Green
, London, and developed close relationships with the community members. He also served as a dayan (Rabbinic judge) in London.

Proficiency in Torah

Friedman was known to be proficient in Torah, not just in

Yitzchak Yaakov Weiss (the Minchas Yitzchak), and Shmuel Wosner.[2]

Rebbe

After the death of his father on January 1, 2013, Friedman left London for Israel where he was appointed as sixth Rebbe of the Sadigura Hasidim, and settled in Bnei Brak, where the Sadigura court is headquartered. As Rebbe, one of his big focuses was making anyone welcome in the chassidus; that nobody would feel left out. He became known as one of the great rabbis in Israel, and was part of the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah.[4]

Around 2018, Friedman fell ill due to pancreatic cancer, and spent much of 2019 in Los Angeles, undergoing treatments. However, even from America, he led his court, ensuring his chassidim had what they needed. In the summer of 2020, he returned to Bnei Brak on a private flight, (as
