admorim titled
"yenuka" (youngster): the
"Yenuka" of Karlin,
"Yenuka" of Tolna and
"Yenuka" of Chernobyl.
In 1919 he followed the advice of his Chassidim and traveled to America, but returned to Russia
repulsed by American culture. His son Rabbi Aharon married the daughter of Rabbi Gedalia Moshe of Zvhil. His son-in-law was the Admor Rabbi Yochanan of Rachmastrivka.
