Born in Ungvar, he was raised by his grandfather, the Stropkover Rebbe R. Abraham Shalom Halberstam. Rabbi Lipschitz-Halberstam was a descendent of both R. Chaim Halberstam of Sanz and R. Aryeh Leib Lipschitz of Vishnitza (author of Aryeh Devei Ilai) - hence his double surname. R. Yechezkel Shraga served as Rabbi and Dayan in Jablonka and Bergszasz before his deportation to Auschwitz in 1944 where his wife and six children were murdered. Post-war, he worked alongside the Klausenberger Rebbe to lift the spirits of broken-hearted Jewish survivors. He was appointed Chief Rabbi of Bamberg and the districts of Frankonia, before emigrating to Eretz Israel in 1949. He succeeded his uncle as Stropkover Rebbe in 1954.
Recognized as an expert in the laws of Mikva’oth, the Rebbe was appointed by R. Yoel Teitelbaum of Satmar, to act on his behalf regarding the construction and maintenance of Mikva’oth throughout Israel.
