The Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe (Yochanan)
1900 CE–1956 CE · Modern · New York
R. Yochanan Perlow (1900-1956), Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe, was the last European-born Karlin-Stoliner Rebbe and the figure who transferred the dynasty to American soil. Succeeding his uncle R. Avraham Elimelech (murdered by the Nazis in 1942), he escaped Europe via Shanghai and settled in Williamsburg, then Brooklyn's Boro Park. Under his leadership Karlin-Stolin — known for its ecstatic, shouting-style prayer (Karliner davening) — was rebuilt from the few hundred survivors into a robust postwar Hasidic community in Brooklyn, Jerusalem, and Beitar Illit.
