Rebbe Moshe Yehoshua Hager, author of Yeshuot Moshe (1916-2012), served as Rabbi of Vil’khovets. In 1944, he escaped the Holocaust and immigrated to Eretz Israel. Upon his arrival, he was appointed dean of the Vizhnitz Yeshiva, and assisted his father in establishing and expanding the Vizhnitz Chassidism. Following his father’s passing in 1972, he succeeded him and led the large court of Vizhnitz Chassidim for forty years. He was renowned for his exceptional diligence, holiness and outstanding service of G-d. Multitudes flocked to his Tishim, to be inspired by his fiery passion and typical Vizhnitz "sweetness", which enraptured and aroused the crowd. From 1989, he served as president of the Moetzet Gedolei HaTorah of Agudath Yisrael. Some of his discourses and letters were published in the nine-volume Yeshuot Moshe series, including a collection of his lectures on Tractate Pesachim. His sons are Rebbe Yisrael Hager and Rebbe Menachem Mendel Hager. His sons-in-law are the Rebbes of Skver and Belz, Rebbe Aharon of Satmar and R. Menachem Ernster dean of the Vizhnitz Yeshiva
