Menashe Klein

Menashe Klein

Rabbi Menashe Klein (1924-2011) (Hebrew: ר' מנשה קליין), also known as the Ungvarer Rebbe (Yiddish: אונגווארער רבי), was a Hasidic Rebbe and posek (arbiter of Jewish law)[1] and author of 17 volumes of Mishneh Halachos and other 25 books. Toward the end of his life, he moved from Brooklyn, New York to live in Jerusalem, Israel.

The Ungvarer Rebbe was born in 1924 in a suburb near the town of Ungvar, Hungary (currently located in the Ukraine), and studied in the Yeshiva of the rav of Ungvar, Rabbi Yosef Elimelech Kahane.

The Ungvarer Rebbe was active until old age and was considered by many to be a paramount leader of both Israel and the Diaspora Lithuanian-Haredi community. He had thousands of disciples.[2]
