Everything about Naftali Halberstam totally explained
Grand Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Halberstam (1931-2005), was the Grand
Rebbe of
Bobov from August of 2000 until March of 2005. He succeeded his father, Rabbi
Shlomo Halberstam (1907-2000), as Grand Rebbe of Bobov.
Rabbi Naftali Halberstam was born in Bobova,
Poland in 1931 (
25 Sivan, 5691 on the
Hebrew calendar). His mother and two siblings died in the
Holocaust, and towards the end of the war, when Rabbi Naftali was a teenager, his father, Rabbi Shlomo, managed to arrange for him to go to the
Holy Land. Rabbi Shlomo remained in Europe, so Rabbi Naftali wasn't sure if his father had survived the war.
Rabbi Naftali lived for several years in the
land of Israel, where he received his
rabbinical ordination. After the war he found out that his father had indeed survived, and had relocated to New York. In the late 1940s, he moved to New York, where he was reunited with his father. On his father's passing in 2000, he became the Grand Rebbe of Bobov. He died on
March 23 2005 (12 days in
Adar 5765). Rabbi Naftali was buried next to his father in
Floral Park Cemetery in
New Jersey.
