Avrohom Yaakov Friedman (July 30, 1884〔Friedman, Yisroel. ''The Golden Dynasty: Ruzhin, the royal house of Chassidus''. Jerusalem: The Kest-Lebovits Jewish Heritage and Roots Library, 2nd English edition, 2000, p. 35.〕 – December 24, 1961〔) was the third Rebbe of the Sadigura Hasidic dynasty. He was a prominent Jewish leader in Vienna in the interwar period and in the nascent state of Israel, where he established his court in Tel Aviv. He was one of the first members of Agudat Israel and occupied a seat on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah. ==Early life== Avrohom Yaakov Friedman was the fifth child of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Sadigura (1853–1907).〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', p. 45.〕 He was the grandson of Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Friedman, the first Sadigura Rebbe; and the great-grandson of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhyn, founder of the Ruzhiner Hasidic dynasty.〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', p. 20.〕 He was born within the year of mourning for his paternal grandfather and was named after him.〔 He had four brothers: Rabbi Aharon of Sadigura (the ''Kedushas Aharon'') (1877–1913), Rabbi Shlomo Yosef of Chernovitz, Rabbi Yitzhak of Rimanov, and Rabbi Shlomo Chaim (Reb Shlomenu) of Sadigura (1887–1972).〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', pp. 20, 45, 37.〕 It is said that his father loved him the most of all his sons. He assiduously spent many hours in Torah study. He was engaged at the age of 11〔 to Bluma Raizel, daughter of Rabbi Yitzhak Meir Heschel of Kopychyntsi, the Kopshitzer Rebbe; they married when he was 18.〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', p. 36–37.〕 Upon his father's death in 1907, he and his brothers all became Rebbes, making their courts and conducting their ''tishen'' in different halls in the great Sadigura synagogue.〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', p. 37.〕 Rabbi Yisrael's eldest son, the ''Kedushas Aharon'', died six years later, in 1912,〔 and was succeeded by his 16-year-old son, Rabbi Mordechai Sholom Yosef Friedman.〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', pp. 54–57.〕 In 1914, with the outbreak of World War I, Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov fled to Vienna together with his younger brother, Rabbi Shlomo Chaim, and his orphaned nephew, Rabbi Mordechai Sholom Yosef. Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov established his court in Vienna and led the Sadigura Hasidim from that city for the next 24 years.〔〔Friedman, ''The Golden Dynasty'', pp. 38–39.〕 The relocation of the Sadigura Rebbes to Vienna effectively put an end to the once-flourishing Jewish community in Sadigura, which comprised more than 5,000 Jews before World War I. The remaining Jews of the town were decimated by the Nazis during World War II.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Avrohom Yaakov Friedman (third Sadigura rebbe)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
