Grand Rabbi Avraham Yissochor Englard of Radzin, son-in-law of Tiferes Yosef and brother-in-law of Grand Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner of Radzin. Crowned as successor of the Izhbitza-Radziner Dynasty in Eretz Yisroel after the Holocaust, by most descendants of the Izhbitza-Radzin family, and by Radziner Hasidim in Eretz Yisroel and worldwide. [Radziner Chasidim did so in accordance with the final parting words of the previous rebbe, Grand Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner of Radzin, before he was killed al Kiddush Hashem]. Under his leadership, the Izhbitzer-Radziner Dynasty rebuilt itself, with the Center of Radziner Institutions being established in Bnei Brak. The Rebbe also established Radziner Shuls (known as Shtieblech) in many cities where Radziner Hassidim were concentrated. This includes Jerusalem, Haifa, Netanya, Tel Aviv, Holon and Petah Tikva. The Rebbe also established the Radziner Yeshiva Sod Y'sharim in Jerusalem, the Radziner Yeshiva Ateres Shlomo in Bnei Brak, the Radziner Yeshiva Tiferes Yosef in Bnei Brak, with many Kollelim located in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, and Haifa. Died 20 Tishrei 5766 (2005). Buried in the Rabbinical section (Chelkas HoRabbanim) of Har HaMenuchos, Jerusalem.
