Father of the present Rebbe
תולדותיו
Rabbi Meir, eldest son of Rabbi Yisroel Dovid and father of the present Rebbe, carried the inheritance in New York through a changed period.
The outward form was quieter, but his beis medrash, family life, minhagim, and fidelity to his father preserved the direct continuation of the house.
His importance lies in receiving and transmitting the Torah, conduct, and family מסורה of his father within the life of his own home and beis medrash.
The record must be built from his own Torah and testimony of those who knew him, rather than reading the later public rebuilding backward into his period.
Torah and the living derech →The beis medrash and those who continued to gather there maintained a living Shendishover address in New York.
This was a quieter period of continuity, not a duplicate of the large East Side court and not a break in the chain.
The responsibility and מסורה passed from Rabbi Meir to his son, the present Rebbe, under whose הנהגה the fuller rebuilding of the court developed.

The American continuation moved into a quieter setting in Borough Park, but it remained the home and beis medrash from which the present renewal grew.
