Rav Avrohom Elimelech Perlow Karlin-Stolin Rebbe

Rav Avrohom Elimelech Perlow of Karlin-Stolin was born to Rav Yisrael “the Yanuka” of Stolin. Rav Avrohom Elimelech married in 1912. He succeeded his father as Rebbe in 1922; most of his father’s Chassidim followed him as he settled in Karlin, while his brother, Rav Dovid of Zlatipol, led a flock to Stolin. In 1929, Rav Avrohom Elimelech founded a Yeshiva in Luninetz. He, his Rebbetzin, and his two sons were murdered by local Ukrainian peasants. His actual Yahrzeit is not known. This day has been chosen as his Yom HaZikoron. A collection of his Chiddushei Torah have been recorded as Kuntres Pri Elimelech and printed in Yalkut Divrei Aharon and in Bircas Aharon.
