The Rebbe, the first Admor to settle in Toronto, was a great grandson of Rebbe Naftali of Ropshitz (d.1827).

My grand-mother Alta ‘Haya CHAINERE was a daughter of reb Yaacov SWUGER and she told us that her father was a son of law of rabbi Israel HOROVITS, the rabbi of WISLICA, son after son from rabbi Naftali of ROPSHITZ.
I need more informations to verify if it is true that rabbi Israel HOROVITS, the rabbi of WISLICA, had a daughter named Guittl, who was married to reb Yaacov SWUGER.
I refer to post 44 (Rachel Teitelbaum). I am also an einikel of Avrohom Chaim ben Moishe Zev (who is buried in Edmonton). hid yichus to the Ropshitzer is also not clear to our family. I have 2 conflicting Yichus Briefs, one saying that Moishe Zev was a son of Meir ben Avrohom Chaim ben HaRopshitzer. The other suggests that Moishe Zev was in fact an einikel of the BROTHER of the Ropshitzer (Reb Shmelke) but his wife was a grand-daughter of Reb Avrohom Chaim ben HaRopshitzer. Can anyone help??By the way, tonight is 11 Iyar – the Yohrzeit of the Heilige Ropshitzer ZY”A
to confused einikel,
Both yichus breifs are correct, Rebbe Avrohom Chaim , was the son inlaw of Rebbe Shmelke , the brother of the Ropshitzer Rebbe Zatzal.
correction to paragraph 3.
Rebbe Avrohom Chaim ,had only one son
Reebbe Menachem Mendel, and six daughters.

Are there any tunes particular to Ropschitzer chassids? I have memories of some melodies that are fading that I think we’re Ropschitzer.
I have seen my Tefillos answered Ltova at a speedy rate. Davening at the Kever of such a Tzaddik arouses tremendous Kavannah and it is a Zchus to have such Tayere Yidden be a Meilitz Yosher for a Poshute Yid like myself. There are plenty of Neiros inside but no matches so bring your own.
