Is this the brother of Reb Shmuel Aharon ZT”L. He is also listed on this site.
The father, read the names.
The Melitzer Rebbe is famous for his Nigunim and compositions in the Chasisdic world, he delivered the Kel Moleh on the steps of the Capitol in Washington DC in 1943 at the famous Rabbonim marsh in protest for the Nazi barbarism and asking the US goverment to intervine for the well being of the Jews in Europe.
Cheskel, what does that mean?
Reb Shmuel Aharon, was the son of R’ Itsikel.
Miller, it was not on the steps of the Capitol.
Cheskel,
Whassa-dif? it was in Washington DC, where indeed was it?
Cheskel, on the Kever of Rav Shmuel Aharon ZT”L, it says that he was the son of an Admor. Here it says he was the AVBDK”K of Melitz.
Reb Naftali of Melitz was both the Rav in Melitz and a Rebbe for Chasdim, his son Reb Yitzchok or Reb Itzikel the way he was called was a Rav in a few villages in Europe prior to his immigration, here he called himself Melitzer Rebbe.

I am the grandson of Harav Yitzchok and the son of Harav Shmuel Ahron. Numbers 1,2, 4 and 5 in that photo are my zaide’s great nephews with the last name Halberstam. #2 is the famous harav Moshe Halberstam ZTL of the Eidah Hachreidis and #5 his brother Harav Naftali Shlita who heads the Vaad Hakashrus of the Eidah. If anyone has the scan of this photo I would greatly appreciate if they would email it to me. Thank you.
To Naftali Horowitz
Do you know if there are any yuhrzeit seudos held to remember the Kedushas Naftali and/or the Birchas Yitzchok – here in the US?
If you are the grandson of Reb Itzikel, why do you not continue the glorious tradition of your royal zaidas and open up a Melitzer shtiebel or Bais Medrash? If you do not feel worthy, then maybe your son or son-in-law would be willing?
NEED HELP in family connection to Reb Yitzchok Horowitz, OBM.
My grandmother, OBM, Channa Gittel Krieger was a cousin to Reb Yitzchok. I remember being taken to the Rebbe’s home & Shtiebel on Riverside Drive in the late 1940’s for Slichose and sat upstairs with the family for dessert. My grandmother’s maiden name was Hollander and thru her I am a Rupshitzer aynnikle. My father, OBM, was Avram Abba Krieger.
Looking for family connection to Melitzer and his direct link to Rupshitzer.
Thank you.
To Naftali Horowitz,
I remember your Father as a child, I was born 1941. I also seem to remember a daughter when I was taken to your Grandfather’s home back in 1947 thru 1951. My memory is quite clear on how your Grandfather appeared when he came down to the Bais Medrash to start Slichot.
Please get back to me so we can speak aboput our shared Rupshitzer Yichus.
Aron Yitzchok, Allan, Krieger
My fourth great grandfather’s name is Shmelke Hasid reb Itsikel. He was a close follower of the Seer of Lublin sent by the latter to Moshe Teitelbaum to Ujhely at the beginning of the 19th century. Can anyone help me with more information? I popped in on this site because there was a mentioning of some R’Itsikel. So I thought there might be a link.
To Aron Yitzchok,
I am the younger of R’ Shmuel Ahron’s two sons. Maybe we can speak at an opportune time. I don’t know how to contact you.
Reuven Horowitz
I am the granddaughter of R’ Yitzchok Horowitz, the Melitzer Rebbe. My mother was Raizel Sarah, one of his four daughters [there was also one son, Shmuel Aharon]. Naftali and Reuven Horowitz are my first cousins. I would be interested in any pieces of information or zichronos about my grandfather, especially the 1943 Rabbis March. We grandchildren have a wealth of memories that we would be happy to share.
Thank you Reuven and Miral Simch for responding. Shanna Tova wishes to both you and your family. I’m sorry for not responding sooner. Until just now I had not returned to your beloved Melitzer Rebbe’s page.
You can contact me either via e-mail, warrior23@aol.com or phone 305 864 1501.
I am seriously interested in following up on my linage back to the Rupshitzer Rebbe which we both are part of and thru the relationship of my Grandmother, Channa Gittel, OBM, to her cousin R’ Yitzchok Horowitz, OBM
I await further contact from either one or both of you.
Your Cousin,
Aron Yitchok Allan) Krieger
