Menachem Z. Rosensaft
Menachem Z. Rosensaft (born 1948 in Bergen-Belsen, Germany) an attorney in New York and the Founding Chairman of the International Network of Children of Jewish Survivors, is a leader of the Second Generation movement of children of survivors, and has been described on the front page of the "New York Times" as one of the most prominent of the survivors' sons and daughters. He also served as National President of the Labor Zionist Alliance, and was active in the early stages of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process. As psychologist Eva Fogelman has written: "Menachem Rosensaft's moral voice has gone beyond the responsibility he felt as a child of survivors to remember and educate. He felt the need to promote peace and a tolerant State of Israel as well. He wanted to bring to justice Nazi war criminals, to fight racism and bigotry, and to work toward the continuity of the Jewish people".
Ropshitz (Hasidic dynasty)
Rabbi Menachem Mendel Rubin of Linsk (Lesko) ( – 1803 [23 Tishri 5564]) is often considered the first "rebbe" of the Ropshitz dynasty. His father, Rabbi Yaakov, was the rabbi of Linsk. He married Beila, daughter of Rabbi Yizchak Halevi Horowitz (called Reb Itzikl Hamburger) the rabbi of (the triple Jewish community of Altona, Hamburg and Wandsbek). He was a disciple of the Hasidic "rebbes" Yechiel Michel, the "maggid" of Zlotshov, and Elimelech of Lizhensk. He was the rabbi of Leshnov (Leshniv), then he became the rabbi of Horodenka. In [], after the death of his father, he inherited the latter's position as the rabbi of Linsk. His descendants continued the rabbinical dynasty of Linsk until the Holocaust. A collection of his writings was published by his descendant Yehoshua Rubin of Baligród as "Liḳuṭe Maharam" () appended to his son, Rebbe Naftali of Ropshitz' "Ayalah sheluḥah" ()‎.
