Fifth Rebbe of the Radoshitz (Radoszyce) Hassidic Dynasty

From hamodia.com

Harav Chaim Asher Finkler was the son of Harav Eliezer Dovid of Radoshitz and the son-in-law of his uncle, Harav Meir Menachem of Piotrkov, both of whom were sons of Harav Hillel of Radoshitz (the son of Harav Yitzchak, Rav of Radoshitz, and a son-in-law of Harav Yissachar Ber, the Saba Kadisha of Radoshitz).

Reb Chaim Asher was actively involved in running his father’s court, so it was natural that after Reb Eliezer Dovid was niftar, on 22 Adar 5687/1927, Reb Chaim Asher became Rebbe.

In 5693/1933, Reb Chaim Asher was chosen to be the Rav of the nearby city Volshtzve. At the request of the chassidim in Radoshitz, though, Reb Chaim Asher went back to visit them frequently, as they felt that the city where his forefathers lived and held court should not be deserted by him.

At the outbreak of World War II Reb Chaim Asher was in Lodz, where a large group of his chassidim lived. With great difficulty, he was transferred to Radoshitz and from there to Kielce. In the ghetto in Kielce, Reb Chaim Asher, suffering from diabetes, was niftar on 24 Adar 5701/1941. Despite the difficulties, he was zocheh to be brought to kever Yisrael.

His son Harav Yaakov perished in the Holocaust. Hy”d.
