Rav Yehuda Aryeh Perlow zt"l
Rav Yehuda Aryeh Perlow (1878-1961). Born in Novominsk, Poland, where his father, R' Yaakov, was rabbi and Rebbe. When R' Yaakov died in 1902, his chassidim divided their allegiance between his sons R' Yehuda Aryeh and R' Alter Yisrael Shimon. The former established his chassidic court in the town of Vlodova while the latter remained in Novominsk. In 1912, R' Yehuda Aryeh assumed the additional positions of Rav and Av Beis Din of Vlodova, and he founded a yeshiva there. In 1922, he accepted the call from his chassidim who had settled in the United States, and he reestablished his court in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn. R' Perlow was among the founders of the Agudath Israel of America.
