Jerusalem: 29th Sivan 1904


Maternal great-grandson of the Chozeh of Lublin and grandson of the Yid of Peshischa, R. Dovid Tzvi Shlomo Biderman emigrated with his parents to Jerusalem in 1850. As a young man he returned to Poland where he became a close disciple of R. Aharon Karliner (Beis Aaron). Upon the passing of his father in 1883, he refused to become Rebbe - only after the passing of his uncle, R. Yitzchok Dovid in 1887, did he agree to become Lelover Rebbe, incorporating much of Karlin to his own Chassidus. In his capacity as member of Kollel Warsaw, he worked tirelessly for the benefit of the Jews of the old Yishuv and through and through, was one of the great Admorim of Jerusalem. His Torah was published in Likutei Divrei Dovid.
