He was the son of Rabbi Shaul and the son-in-law of Rabbi Mordechai Horowitz. Born in the city of Brody, he was later counted among the sages of the city's renowned Kloiz. Upon his attraction to Chassidut, he followed the Chozeh of Lublin and attained the spiritual level of 'all-seeing eyes' like his Rav, to the extent that the Rav of Apta advised him to pray for this gift to be removed, so that he could fulfill the commandment of Ahavat Yisrael in its simplest sense. Alongside being a leading disciple of the Chozeh, he also followed the Saraf of Strelisk and the Ohev Yisrael of Apta. He maintained deep ties of friendship with the Rav of Ruzhin, with whom he corresponded closely regarding the strengthening of the Jewish Yishuv in Eretz Yisrael. In 1839, Rabbi Aaron Moshe merited to immigrate to Eretz Yisrael, settling in Jerusalem, where he headed the Chassidic community and served as the head of Kolel Volhyn. In 1841, he established his Beit Midrash in the city, which became a central hub of Torah, Chassidut, and Avodat hashem. He passed away in 1845 and was buried on the slopes of the Mount of Olives, near the Tomb of Zechariah Hanavi. Unfortunately, during the years of Jordanian rule over the Mount, his burial area was desecrated and his tombstone removed; therefore, his exact burial place remains unknown.  The Admor Rabbi Elazar Menachem Mendel Biderman of Lelov (1827-1883), the son and successor of the Admor Rabbi Moshe of Lelov, and the grandson of the dynasty’s founder, Rabbi David of Lelov. Following the passing of his father shortly after their immigration to Eretz Yisrael, Rabbi Elazar Menachem Mendel took upon himself the yoke of leadership, becoming the first Admor to establish and stabilize the Lelov Chatzer in Jerusalem over the course of several decades. Rabbeinu was renowned as a wonder-worker and a wondrous figure who was revered, not only by the Chassidim, but also by the Prushim communities and all of Jerusalem's diverse communities. He made it his custom to visit the Western Wall daily and frequently visited the Tomb of Shimon HaTzadik. His character was defined by extraordinary humility and an exceptional Ahavat Yisrael. Under his leadership, the Lelov Chassidut became an inseparable part of the Holy City's spiritual landscape. He was laid to rest on the Mount of Olives.  The Admor Rabbi Alter Avraham Bezalel Nosson Note Biderman of Lelov (1862-1933) the son of the Admor Rabbi Elazar Mendel and brother of the Admor Rabbi David Zvi Shlomo of Lelov.
