R. Ya'akov Aryeh Alter of Ger (Góra Kalwaria), was born in Lodz, Poland, in 1939. He was the son of R. Simcha Bunim Alter, author of Lev Simcha. In 1940, at the midst of WWII, when he was one year old, he moved to Eretz Israel with his father and grandfather [author of Imrei Emet]. In 1996, after his uncle author of P'nei Menachem died, he began his tenure as Rebbe and for the last twenty odd years he leads the Gerrer Chassidism, the largest Chassidic court in Israel. 10.5X15 cm. Good condition.
