R. Shlomo Halberstam of Bobov, eldest son of the pre-war Bobover Rebbe R. Benzion Halberstam, was one of the great builders of Chassidism in America following the Holocaust, in which his entire family, except for one son, R. Naftali, were murdered. The Bobov sect itself was all but wiped out, yet was re-established by Rabbi Halberstam (Kerem Shlomo) with the warmth, charisma and piety admired by many.
