The son-in-law and successor of the Holy Rabbi Aharon Roth author of ‘Shomer Emunin’ and ‘Taharat HaKodesh’. Was born in Safed to his father Rabbi Shmuel David HaKohen and to his mother, the great-granddaughter of the Holy Rabbi Shmuel Heller the Rabbi of Safed. When he was a child, his family moved to Europe where he studied Torah at the Huedin Yeshiva and in Seklhid with the Holy Gaon Rabbi Yehuda Segal Rosner. He also studied Torah from the Holy Gaon of Satmar. After his marriage to the only daughter of the Holy Rabbi Aharon Roth author of Shomer Emunin, he became one of his most prominent disciples.

After his father-in-law’s passing, most of his father-in-law’s Chassidim followed him and he established the holy community of ‘Toldot Aharon’. In the fifty years that he served as their leader, he was known for his Avodat HaKodesh, his selfless devotion and his great toil. Thousands used to come to watch the lighting of the bonfire on Lag BaOmer at the gravesite of Rashbi in Meron and thousands came to celebrate Zecher LeSimchat Beit HaSho’eva at his central Beit Midrash in the Meah She’arim neighborhood of Jerusalem.
