Rav Chaim Zanvl Abramowitz ((イディッシュ語:חיים זאנוויל אבראמאוויטש), (ヘブライ語:חיים זנוויל אברהמוביץ)), known as the ''Ribnitzer Rebbe'' (ריבניצער רבי), was considered a great Hasidic ''tzadik'' and miracle worker from Rybnitsa (now in Transnistria, Moldova). Rav Abramowitz was a prominent follower of Rabbi Avrohom Matisyohu of Shtefanesht.〔("The Sthefaneshter Rebbes" ), ''nishmas.org''. Accessed 2007-07-09.〕 He lived in the USSR under Joseph Stalin's rule and lived a fully Jewish religious life. He served as ''mohel'' and ''shochet''. He fasted very often, and immersed himself many times daily in water that was sometimes only accessible by chopping away very thick ice. His ''Tikkun Chatzos'' (midnight prayer service) in sackcloth and ashes regularly lasted 6–7 hours, sometimes stretching as long as 12. He cried so much during ''Tikkun Chatzos'' that when he was done, the tears and ashes mingled so that he was sitting in mud. The Russian gentiles feared and revered him. The KGB brought their wives and children for blessings and experienced miracles.〔 He left Russia in 1970 and moved to the Mattersdorf section of Jerusalem, where he lived for a few years before moving to the United States. He lived in Miami, Los Angeles, Boro Park, Seagate, Brooklyn, and finally settled in Monsey, New York. Rav Abramowitz died on ''Isru Chag'' ''Succos'', 1995, in Monsey, New York. He is buried in the Vizhnitzer Cemetery.
