R. Chanoch Henoch Dov Zilberfarb served as the Grand Rebbe of Botoshan from 1929. During the war years, he assisted the masses of Jewish refugees from Poland who sought safety in Romania. Upon immigrating to Eretz Israel in 1948, he reinvigorated the Koidanev sect that Botoshan stemmed from, after it had been decimated by the Holocaust.
