Chaim Avraham Dov Ber Levine (1859/1860 – 1938), known as "the Malach" (lit.
"the angel"), was a rabbi and founder of the Malachim (Hasidic group).
Levine was one of the closest followers of Sholom Dovber Schneersohn, the fifth rebbe of Lubavitch, and was the tutor of his son, Yosef Yitzchok Schneersohn.
[2] Upon his arrival in New York in 1923, he was welcomed by Shraga Feivel Mendlowitz, the rosh yeshiva (dean) of Yeshiva Torah Vodaath in Brooklyn.
After Levine's death, Yankev Schorr led the group.
