In 1944, when he was sent with his father to Auschwitz, his father appointed him his successor, promising him that he would survive since “the people of Israel need him.” After the war a small number of Chassidim gathered around him in Sighet and appointed him their Admor. He moved to Eretz Yisrael in 1947 and settled in Jerusalem. Upon the advice of the Chazon Ish and the Admor Rabbi Aharon of Belz, he moved to Rechovot to set up a Chareidi community. In 1969 he travelled to visit his ancestors’ graves in Romania, collapsed and passed away. His body was brought back to Israel, and he is buried in the Rechovot cemetery. His sons include the Admor of Kretshnif-Rechovot, the Admor of Kretshnif-Kiryat Gat (who passed away a month ago), and the Admor of Premyslan, the Admor of Bitchkov and more. Among his sons-in-law are the Admor of Sassov, the Admor of Poltishan, and more. The Admor of Kretshnif was known as a wonder-worker , especially in medical matters, which he would ‘clothe’ in natural methods, with prescriptions that would be honored in pharmacies in Reבhovot, eating certain foods, and some that would seem to oppose nature. Rabbi Gershon Eidelstein told the head of the Ponevezh Yeshiva that once when one of his family members needed medicine, the Admor of Kretshnif ordered him to be given a specific medicine and the patient was cured, an endeavor in which the physician failed with their various medicines. The Rav was shocked, and asked the Steipler how a young Rav succeeded, never having studied medicine. The late Steipler replied: ” Zayn Zagan is more than enough medicine” - what he says-blesses, helps more than the medicine he gives”.
