[edit] Citation Needed

Fine that it comes from the book. Refer to that in the article by providing proper references.--Meshulam 04:53, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] His name

BS"D

His name is Yitzchok Ahron, not Yitzhak Aharon. --Shaul avrom 01:00, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Suicide

I know his ex-wife, and i know that he commited suicide a few years back. I don't know much about it, but I or someone else should look into it. --Geowhiz1010 22:01, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Father?

Who was his father and how does he link to the Besht's family?--Klezmer (talk) 14:20, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

His father was Rabbi Menachem Nochum Korff, son of the previous Rebbeh, R. Yaakov Yisroel of Zvil-Medzhibozh son of R. Mordechai of Medzhibozh etc. back to Boruch. I saw it on the website (Rebbe.org) and it's at the Medzhibozh dynasty page. --ChosidFrumBirth (talk) 16:41, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. I understand the link now, but I don't see his name listed in either place mentioned. On the Medzh dynasty page it seems to skip a generation. --Klezmer (talk) 07:00, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

It did that lots of times in Hasidus, like the Boyaner of today, Baal Shem Tov to Boruch, etc. that the Rebistriva goes from a grandfather to a grandson even though the son/father in between was a Rov but didn't become or accept being Rebbe for some reason. --ChosidFrumBirth (talk) 14:10, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
