R. Nathan David Rabinowitz (1866-1930), Rebbe of Shedlitz-Partzov (Siedlce-Parczew), was the son of R. Yaakov Yitzchak of Biala, author of "Divrei Bina" and a direct descendent of the "Holy Jew", R. Yaakov Yitzchak of Peshischa (Przysucha). He was famed as a scholar and holy man, and became Rebbe in Parczew during his father's lifetime. He later became Rebbe in Siedlce, and his writings were published after his passing as "Eleh Hadevarim Shene'emru LeDavid". His sons were R. Elimelech Moshe Yechiel, Rebbe of Lubartow, and R. Baruch Yehoshua Yerachmiel, son-in-law and successor of the "Minchat Elazar" of Munkacs (Mukacheve). His sons-in-law were R. Avraham Yaakov Shapiro, Rebbe of Drohovice, R. Aharon of Stolin, R. Yisrael, son of Rebbe Yitzchak Menachem Danziger of Alexander, and Mr. Yaakov Landau of Tel Aviv. His remains were brought from Poland to Israel by his son, R. Baruch Yerachmiel, Rebbe of Munkacs-Petach Tikva, and were reinterred in the "Segula" cemetery in Petach Tikva.
