Admor Rabbi Aharon Brondwein (died 1907) was the son of the Admor Rabbi Zvi Aryeh Landau of Felsztyn. After his father’s death he grew up in his uncle’s home—the Admor Rabbi Yisrael of Ruzhin. After his father-in-law (Rabbi Avraham of Strettin) passed away without children, he adopted his father-in-law’s surname, moved to Israel and established himself in Tzfat, where he died in 1907 and is buried in the Beer Mayim Chaim cave.
