“We have found that…our righteous rabbis and fathers attributed great significance to the vessels used by tzaddikim and chassidim. They would spend a substantial sum of money on these…” (Minchas Elazar of Munkacs)
Rabbi Chaim Zanvil Abramowitz of Ribnitz (1902-1995), the holy Ribnitzer Rebbe, was born in Botosani, Romania. Orphaned as a child, he was raised by the Admor Harav Avraham Mattisyahu of Shtefanesht who treated him as an only son. He dwelled in Ribnitz, which lies in present-day Moldova (formerly Ukraine).
The Rebbe exhibited holy conduct from his youth days, immersing in frozen rivers and serving Hashem devoutly with holiness and purity. While living under the Communist regime, he risked his life frequently to perform circumcisions and slaughter in accordance with Jewish law under the noses of the brutal Communist oppressor. He miraculously survived the Nazi occupation, and it was during this era that he gained his reputation as a miracle worker with countless stories attesting to his holy powers.
In 1972, the Ribnitzer Rebbe immigrated to Eretz Yisrael and then to the United States. Countless Jews appealed to him for blessing and counsel and many attested that he possessed Divine spirit and saw salvation from his blessings. He was laid to rest in Monsey, NY, where thousands flock to his tomb to pray and seek salvation.
