There was great friendship and love between the two brothers, Rav Yisrael of Vizhnitz and Rav Pinchas of Borsha. When the Imrei Boruch passed away, the Ahavas Yisrael declined all offers of taking over the Chassidus. Initially, the pressure from the Chassidim had no effect, until Rav Pinchas revealed what he had dreamed: Rav Pinchas was undecided where to live. One night, his father the Imrei Boruch appeared to him in a dream and said, “What are you so worried about? Go and ask the Rebbe!”
To Rav Pinchas’s question as to which Rebbe his father meant, the Imrei Boruch replied, “Rebbe stands for the roshei teivos Rosh Bnei Yisrael! My son, Yisrael, will be the leader and Rebbe.”
Upon hearing his brother’s words, the Ahavas Yisrael finally relented and agreed to take upon himself the mantle of leadership. (Kedosh Yisrael Vol. I and Noam Megodim Vizhnitz Pekudei 5763 p. 3)
