Marriage document sidned by the Admor Rabbi David Moshe Rosenbaum of Kretshnif.
The Admor Rabbi David Moshe Rosenbaum of Kretshnif (1925-1969) was the son and successor of the Admor Rabbi Eliezer Zeev Rosenbaum of Kretshnif and the son-in-law of the Admor Rabbi Haim Mordechai Rosenbaum of Nadvorna. In 1944, when he was sent with his father to Auschwitz, his father appointed him his successor, promised him that he would survive since “the people of Israel need him.” After the war a small number of chassidim gathered around him in Sighet and appointed him their Admor. He moved to Israel in 1947 and settled in Jerusalem. Upon the advice of the Chazon Ish and the Admor Rabbi Aharon of Belz, he moved to Rehovot to set up a charedi community. In 1969 he travelled to visit his ancestors’ graves in Romania, collapsed and died. His body was brought back to Israel, and he is buried in the Rehovot cemetery. His sons include: Admor of Kretshnif-Rehovot, the Admor of Kretshnif-Kiryat Gat (who died a month ago), and the Admor of Premyslan, the Admor of Bitchkov zt”l, and more. Among his sons-in-law are the Admor of Sasov, the Admor of Poltishan, and more.
