הרב נפתלי בן אלעזר ווייסבלום זצ"ל
Cheshvan 25 , 5609
Known As: Ayala Shelucha
Father's Name: Elozor Weissblum
Rav Naftali Weissblum of Lizhensk zt"l
He knew and remembered his grandfather, the Rebbe Reb Melech of Lizhensk.
When his father, Rav Elozor, was niftar in 5566, and Chassidim tried to become his followers, he refused to lead them as Rebbe. Only once a year did he assume the role of Rebbe, and on those occasions, miracles and yeshuos abounded.
He was extremely pious, private and humble, and he himself would travel to other Rebbes, primarily to Rav Menachem Mendel of Kosuv.
His sons were Rav Yaakov Yitzchok of Zidatshuv and Rav Meshulem Zisha of Nadvorna.
