Rav Noach Naftali Rabinowitz zt"l
Rav Noach Naftoli, born in 5596/1836, was the son of Rav Yisrael Yaakov, who was the son of the famed Rav Moshe of Kobrin. He was the son-in-law of his uncle, Rav Boruch Chaim Levin, a son-in-law of Rav Moshe of Kobrin.
Following the petira of his grandfather, Rav Moshe of Kobrin, on the twenty-ninth of Nissan 5618/1858, Rav Noach Naftoli was appointed Rebbe by a group of his grandfather’s Chassidim. (Most of the Chassidim accepted Rav Avrohom of Slonim as their Rebbe.)
Rav Noach Naftoli was known as an outstanding Talmid Chochom. His appearance was regal.
On the twenty-sixth of Av 5649/1889, at the age of sixty-three, Rav Noach Naftoli was niftar in Komin, while cutting the bread at his table.
His sons, Rav Dovid Shlomo of Kobrin and Rav Aharon Levi of Diamatshcve, succeeded him as Rebbe.
Many of Rav Noach Naftoli’s Divrei Torah were printed in the sefer of his grandfather, Amoros Tehoros, under the title M’aamorim Tehorim.
Zechuso yagen aleinu.
