Son of Rav Shimon Sholom of Amshinov A descendant of the Vurka dynasty Born Shushan Purim 1901 תרס''א in Peshischa Son in law of Rav Yaakov Aryeh Morgenstern of Vishkov a descendant of the Kotzker dynasty He fled with his father to Vilna from there to Shanghai and on to the United States. In תשי''ד he was crowned as Amshinover Rebbe and he moved to Eretz Yisroel with his mother the daughter of Rav Yeshaya Kalisch of Peshischa. At first he lived in Tel Aviv and afterwards in Yerushalayim where he established Shem Olam the Amshinover yeshivah. He was a symbol of true boundless Ahavas Yisroel and beloved to all. His humility was legendary and for many years he did not allow anyone to call him rebbe. His daily regimen was above time and often his Shabbos ended on late Sunday mornings. Rav Yaakov Aryeh Yeshaya Mikovski (his son in law Rav Chaim Milkovski’s son) was named as his successor.
