Rabbi Mordechai Rokeach of Belz [1901-1949] was the Rebbe of Bilgoray, the son of Admor Yissacher Rokeach of Belz. He married into the family of Rabbi David Shlomo of Kobrin. After his father’ passing, he was appointed rabbi and Av Beit Din in Bilgoray, and humbled himself before his brother, the Admor. During the Holocaust, he was smuggled out of danger together with his great brother by his chassidim. After many tribulations, they reached Tel Aviv in 1944, where he helped his older brother restore the chassidut. After learning that his wife and children were all murdered, he remarried. His son [the subject of this invitation] was born in 1948, eventually becoming the Admor. In 1950, he took ill and passed away suddenly at only 48 years of age.
