Yisroel Moshe Friedman

Yisroel Moshe Friedman (July 23, 1955 – August 10, 2020) was the sixth Rebbe of the Sadigura Hasidic dynasty.

[2] In 1979, Friedman married Sara Feldman of London,[3] and settled in the city's Stamford Hill neighborhood.

In 1993, on the yahrtzeit of the first Ruzhiner Rebbe, he opened the Ohr Yisrael shul in Golders Green, London, and developed close relationships with the community members.

[4] Around 2018, Friedman fell ill due to pancreatic cancer, and spent much of 2019 in Los Angeles, undergoing treatments.

In the summer of 2020, he returned to Bnei Brak on a private flight, (as COVID-19 had halted all air travel); he wanted to be with his community for the Yamim Noraim.
