Born in Peshischa, he learned with his grandfather, Rav Menachem, who was the grandson of the first Amshinover Rebbe, Rav Yaakov David. When Rav Mencahem passed away in 1918, one of his sons, Rav Yosef, became the Rebbe of Amshinov, and the other son, Rav Shimon Shalom – Rav Meir’s father – became Rebbe in Otvotzk. Rav Shimon was a major driving force behind the exodus of thousands of bachurim in Mir, Kletzk, Radin, Novardak, and other yeshivos to Japan and Shanghai at the outbreak of World War II. By the time Shanghai came under Japanese control, it held 26,000 Jews. After the war, Rav Shimon immigrated to America. Upon his petira in 1954, Rav Meir accompanied the aron to Teveria in Eretz Yisrael. He later moved to Tel Aviv, and then to the Bayit Vegan section of Yerushalayim. Rav Meir was noted for his genius in Torah, as well as his warmth and sensitivity to all Jews. His grandson, Rav Yaakov Aryeh Milikowski, succeeded him as the Amshinover Rebbe.(1901-1976AMSHINOVERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680072149053035110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1118948994942020212005-06-16T15:09:00.000-04:002005-06-16T15:09:00.000-04:00Previous Amshinover Rebbe was rav itzchok kalish i...Previous Amshinover Rebbe was rav itzchok kalish in boro parkAMSHINOVERhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07680072149053035110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13084425.post-1118926825188798602005-06-16T09:00:00.000-04:002005-06-16T09:00:00.000-04:00"Reb Sholom Ber Schneersohn who attended the Bobov..."Reb Sholom Ber Schneersohn who attended the Bobover's tisch on a fairly regualr basis.<BR/>His brother inlaw also became a Bobover but was not gheza."<BR/><BR/>Huh?
