Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam (1908 — August 2, 2000)[1] (Hebrew: רבי שלמה הלברשטאם), was the third Rebbe of Bobov who re-established the Hasidic dynasty in the United States after World War II. Born in Poland,[2] he was the oldest son of Rabbi Ben Zion Halberstam (1874–1941) of Bobov, who was murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators in the Holocaust.

Rebuilding

Starting off with a small yeshiva for sixteen boys in the West Side of Manhattan,[3] Grand Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam rebuilt the Bobov institutions in America, Israel and in London after the Holocaust. He also rebuilt in another way: he remarried, having lost his first wife and most of their children during the Holocaust.[1]

Grand Rebbe Shlomo Halberstam died in the summer of 2000, and was succeeded by his oldest son, Rabbi Naftali Halberstam (1931–2005).

A selection of his teachings were recorded in the book Kerem Shlome and many more books
