The Admor Rabbi Yisrael of Husiatyn (1858-1949), of the Ruzhin Rebbes, was revered as a miracle-worker. The only grandson of the Rebbe of Ruzhin who made aliyah to Eretz Yisrael, it was said that one could tangibly see his Ruach Hakodesh, as was with the Rebbes of the previous generations. In 1894, he assumed the leadership of Husiatyn after the passing of his father, Rabbi Mordechai Feivish, son of Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. During World War I, he fled to Vienna, and in 1937 he immigrated to Eretz Yisrael, where he was considered one of the senior Rebbes of his time.
