His eldest son, Rabbi Sholom Yosef Friedman (1813-1851),[6] remained in Sadigura to continue leading the court his father had founded, but died ten months later.
[10] He also entertained visits from prominent Christians, including princes, counts, and writers who published articles about him in newspapers in Vienna, Berlin, Frankfurt, Prague, and other locales.
[16] After Rabbi Yisrael's death in 1907, each of his sons became Rebbes, making their courts and conducting their tishen in different halls of the great Sadigura synagogue.
Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov established his court in Vienna and led the Sadigura Hasidim from that city for the next 24 years.
[7] Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Friedman, grandson of the first Sadigura rebbe, obtained a visa to Palestine shortly after the Anschluss of 1938 and re-established his court in Tel Aviv.
Nonetheless, he continued to lead his Hasidim with princely bearing,[21] conducting his court in Tel Aviv for 22 years until his death in 1961.
[21] After the death of the third Sadigura Rebbe in 1961, his Hasidim asked his younger brother, Rabbi Shlomo Chaim, to succeed him, but the latter demurred.
He did agree to sit in his brother's place at tischen held on Jewish holidays and on the yahrtzeits of his Ruzhiner and Sadigura ancestors.
[2] Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov died at the age of 84 on 1 January 2013, after being ill from pneumonia, and was buried in the Nahalat Yitzhak cemetery alongside his father.
Rabbi Yisrael Moshe Friedman died at the age of 65 in Bnei Brak on 11 August 2020, following a lengthy illness and was buried in the Nahalat Yitzhak cemetery in Givatayim,[7] alongside his father and grandfather.
He served as an alternate Rebbe in Sadigura during the life of his eldest brother, and in Vienna and Tel Aviv during the tenure of his nephew.
Rabbi Mordechai Shalom Yosef of Sadigura-Pshemisyl was the only child of Rav Aharon, and the youngest to serve as Sadigura Rebbe.
He relocated to the Crown Heights neighborhood of Brooklyn, where he led his rabbinical court until he migrated to Tel Aviv.
He assumed his father's positions in Sadigura and on the Moetzes Gedolei HaTorah, which he held for seven and a half years until his early passing in 2020 at age 65.
