Bringing Down the Blessings

The previous Nadvorna Rebbe ztz”l was a healer of broken souls, yet his son Rav Eliezer Zev Rosenbaum has brought a fresh dimension to the chassidus

During the tenure of the previous Nadvorna Rebbe of Bnei Brak ztz”l — a holy tzaddik and healer of broken souls in all types of distress — his oldest son was rarely seen, preferring to be hidden away with his seforim and spiritual pursuits. Yet with the mantle of leadership thrust upon him, the new Rebbe, Rav Eliezer Zev Rosenbaum, has brought a shining light to the chassidus. An exclusive conversation of Yom Tov inspiration.

“You know very well that I am an ‘ish sod’ who keeps his mouth sealed but there is one person who knows all of my intentions and profound secrets and that is my eldest son ” the previous Nadvorna Rebbe of Bnei Brak Rav Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum ztz”l told his closest chassidim shortly before his passing four years ago.

“He knows all my secrets.” The previous Rebbe entrusted the chassidus to his eldest son — a persona of extreme humility and spiritual achievements and a beacon for the complex chinuch issues faced by an overwhelmed generation

“I haven’t hidden anything from him and you can rely on him with your eyes closed — his hand is like my own and his mouth is like my mouth.”
