In 1925, he immigrated to the Land of Israel yet returned to Satmar several years later. His doctrine was complete belief in God and accepting suffering as a test of our faith.
The Rebbe Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kahn (1914-1997) was born in Safed. As a child, he emigrated with his father to Transylvania there he became the disciple of Rabbi Aharon and later, his son-in-law. He immigrated to the Land of Israel together with his father-in-law and since 1947 was his major successor. Was known as a Torah genius.
