The Savran / Benderi Chassidic dynasty in Bessarabia was maintained by members of the Wertheim Family. The groom’s grandfather R. Yitzchak (d. 1911) was the son-in-law of R. Yoseph of Radvil. The father of the groom, R. Shimon Shlomo (1865-1925) was a prominant Chassidic leader of pre-War Bessarabian Jewry. The groom (1882-1946) emigrated to Israel. See Alfasi, Ha-Chassiduth, pp. 82-83
