Rabbi Abraham Elimelech Perlow of Karlin-Pinsk succeeded his father, R. Yisroel, the “Yenukah” of Stolin, as Rebbe in 1921. He visited Eretz Israel a number of times where he established a Yeshiva and attracted a large following. He returned to Poland in 1939 just prior to the outbreak of World War II despite the entreaties of his Chassidim to stay in the Holy Land. He stated that although he saw dark clouds above Poland, he felt obligated to return there to be with his family and his followers.
