The Admor Rabbi Avraham Elimelech Perlov of Karlin (1892-1943) was the son of Rabbi Yisrael of Stolin and son-in-law of his uncle Rabbi Mordechai Yosef of Zlatipoli. After his father passed away, his father’s Chassidim wanted to appoint him their Rav, following his father’s wishes, yet he refused, and only after pressure from his father-in-law and Rabbi Yisrael of Chortkov did he agree to be appointed as Admor in Karlin. He established the Or Yisrael Yeshiva in Luninitz (Belarus) and Beit Aharon in Jerusalem, which still exists today.

His disciple, Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Beiderman of Lelov, said that he was the “Ba’al Shem Tov of his generation.” When the Nazis took over Karlin he was in Eretz Yisrael (which he visited four times during his life), and despite the pleading of his Chassidim he returned to Karlin in order not to abandon them. Was murdered during the Holocaust
