Shendishov and New York
מהרי״ד · כ״ק אדמו״ר זי״ע
The established American chapter
תולדותיו
Rabbi Yisroel Dovid established the lasting Shendishover court in America before the destruction of Jewish Galicia.
His Lower East Side home and beis medrash were a place of Torah and avodah, hospitality, counsel, relief work, and responsibility for the wider ציבור.
A published address from the 1930s places the beis medrash, friendship, and the presence of Hashem inside one shared idea.
Tovim Me’orot preserves his avodah, personal conduct, chinuch, hospitality, Torah, and the ways in which he received people.
Torah and the living derech →The sources describe followers in the hundreds: older Shotzer Chassidim, families attached to Shendishov for generations, followers of Rabbi Tuvia, and Jews from other Galician and Polish courts.
He served as a vice president of Agudas HaAdmorim, chaired meetings when needed, and worked for decades through Vaad HaEzra and other relief efforts.
The direct continuation passed through his eldest son, Rabbi Meir, and from him to the present Shendishover Rebbe.
