Antwerp, 1978. ...Firstly, to fulfill what is written in the Torah, ‘And you shall be clean...’ – behold, by nature I am not energetic, and I am also burdened and unable to write except when I have peace of body and peace of mind. I have several letters to respond to, and I delay them from day to day, and from month to month. ...And I hereby bless you, may it be the will of the Almighty that He grant you, with your entire family , long life – a life of contentment and abundance, and may God grant you success for the good, both materially and spiritually. And may you merit to raise your offspring, may he live and be well, to Torah, marriage, and good deeds. And may we continue to hear good news from your esteemed self forever.” Rebbi Yaakov Leiser of Pshevorsk, affectionately known as “Reb Yankele” (1907–1998), the second Rebbe of Pshevorsk. He was the primary disciple of the holy Rebbi Chuneh Halberstam of Kalushitz. In 1930, he became engaged to Alta Bina, daughter of the famed Rebbi Moshe Yitzchak (“Reb Itzikel”) Gwertzman of Pshevorsk, and married her approximately five years later. Following his engagement, he served as Rabbi of Jaslisek (Western Galicia, now in Poland) for about five years, until shortly after his marriage. After surviving the holocaust in Siberia he served as Dayan in Breslau (Wrocław). Upon the passing of his father-in-law Reb Itzikel in 1977, Reb Yankele succeeded him as Rebbe. Like his predecessor, he became renowned for his holiness, asceticism, and acts of charity, and Jews from across the world came to him seeking blessings and salvation. Miracles and prophetic insight were regular occurrences in his court, reminiscent of the legendary tzaddikim of old. He was especially known for his remarkable power through telling stories of tzaddikim, which often brought about supernatural salvations. He passed away on the 27th of Cheshvan, 1998, and was buried near his father-in-law in the Ohel in the Jewish cemetery in The Netherlands. His Torah teachings were published in the sefarim ”Imrei Yaakov” and ”Zechut Avot”. His son, Rebbi Leibish, serves as his successor.
