Lineage

Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Linsk

Rabbi Menachem Mendel Rubin of Linsk (Lesko) (c. 1740 – 1803 [23 Tishri 5564]) is often considered the first rebbe of the Ropshitz dynasty. ^{[lower-alpha 2]} His father, Rabbi Yaakov, ^{[lower-alpha 3]} was the rabbi of Linsk. He married Beila, daughter of Rabbi Yizchak Halevi Horowitz (called Reb Itzikl Hamburger), the rabbi of "Ahu"  [ he ] (the triple Jewish community of Altona, Hamburg, and Wandsbek). He was a disciple of the Hasidic rebbes Yechiel Michel, the maggid of Zlotshov, and Elimelech of Lizhensk. He was the rabbi of Leshnov (Leshniv); then, c. 1773, he became the rabbi of Horodenka. In c. 1782 [c. 5542], after the death of his father, he inherited the latter's position as the rabbi of Linsk. ^{[1] [2]} His descendants continued the rabbinical dynasty of Linsk until the Holocaust. A collection of his writings was published by his descendant Yehoshua Rubin of Baligród as Liḳuṭe Maharam (לקוטי מהר"ם‎), appended to his son, Rebbe Naftali of Ropshitz' Ayalah sheluḥah (אילה שלוחה‎)‎. ^[3]

Notes

1. also ראָפשיטץ‎
2. cf. Alfasi ^[1]
3. In some sources called Yaakov Yokel—which was also the full name of Rabbi Mendel's wife's grandfather.
4. According to some traditions, Rebbe Avraham Chaim was Rebbe Naftali's eldest son; according to others, Rebbe Yaakov was. ^[4]
5. This approximate date is preferred over several later dates. ^[4]
6. Alfasi has 19 Tevet 5597 [1836], but most other sources give 19 Tevet 5599 [1839] as his date of death. The former date, however, is in better accord with several family traditions. ^[5]
7. After Dor va-dor ve-dorshav ^[23]
   Alfasi and Vunder agree that he fled to Vienna in World War I, and thus was still alive in 1914. Vunder writes that he died around 5678 (c. 1918). Similarly, Alfasi writes that he died before 5680 (c. 1920). Vunder also cites as mistaken (with no explanation) the date given by Shem ha-gedolim ha-shelishi, 5647 (c. 1887—as in Dor va-dor ve-dorshav). However, Rebbe Tovia is mentioned as deceased as early as 1899 (Dor va-dor ve-dorshav) and again in 1905 (Gezaʻ Tarshishim). ^[24] In addition, in accordance with Ashkenazi customs, he must have died before the birth, in c. 1893, of his grandson of the same given name, Rebbe Tovia Horowitz of Sunik.
8. In Yiddish: מַיידאַן‎, pronounced (and often spelled) מאַדין‎Madin in Southern Yiddish.
9. Apparently of his mother; see dates of death given for his father
10. Both sources cited name him "Asher Yeshaya", but in all three of his works (which he published himself), and in his approbations (e.g. Ṭaʻame mitsṿot (טעמי מצות‎), Przemyśl, 1888), and in his facsimile autograph signature, ^[29] he signs his name as "Asher" only.
11. Son of Rabbi Yisrael Asher Frankel of Bnei Brak, ^[33] whose mother, Chava, was Rebbe Tzvi Chaim's daughter. ^[31]
12. Not to be confused with his cousin, Rebbe Avraham Simcha Horowitz of Melitz, son of Rebbe Yisrael of Melitz-Dzikov (see the Melitz branch), who also lived in Jerusalem.
13. Said to have been 68 years old when he died. ^[38]
14. According to one version. Another version has him as the son of Rebbe Menashe Rubin of Ropshitz. ^[42]
15. Not to be confused with Vizhnitzer
16. This date, based on archival evidence, supersedes many previously published dates. ^[38]
17. Various sources disagree on whether his wife was a descendant of Rebbe Avraham Yehoshua Heshel of Apt. ^[38]
18. About a week before his father, and not in 1874 [as in ha-Ḥasidut mi-dor le-dor]. ^[70]
19. According to Vunder, ^[70] he was the son of Rebbe Yaakov Yosef's second wife; according to his entry in Ohole Shem (Pinsk, 1912), his maternal grandfather was Rebbe Leibush Neuhaus, his father's first father-in-law. ^[72]
20. Alfasi ^[39] and Vunder ^[76] write that his first wife was Sosha, daughter of Rebbe Naftali Horowitz of Melitz, Rebbe Yisrael's brother. However, this contradicts Rebbe Yosef David's own testimony as cited. Also, Sosha, daughter of Rebbe Naftali of Melitz, is known to have been the wife of a different Rebbe Yosef David of Sassov—Rebbe Yosef David Majer (a cousin of the former); ^[78] furthermore, Sosha, her husband and children died in the Holocaust, ^[78] while Rebbe Yosef David Rubin died in 1983, as mentioned above.
21. Alfasi ^[39] and Vunder ^[51] enumerate among Rebbe Mendel of Glogov's sons a Rebbe Yehoshua of Chirov, whose existence has been described as "according to Meʼore Galitsyah". ^[81] Even Vunder ^[82] mentions Rebbe Yehoshua only in reference to his son, Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak, the rebbe of Chirov, who died in the Holocaust. In his later works, ^[83] however, Vunder writes (citing Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak's descendants) that Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak of Chirov was the son of Rebbe Asher Yeshaya of Stashov. (So too in the pages of testimony submitted by his descendants to Yad Vashem.) ^[84] Thus, unless there were two rebbes in Chirov named Avraham Yitzchak Rubin who died in the Holocaust, "Rebbe Yehoshua of Chirov" did not exist.
