Pinchas Menachem Justman (1848–1910) The Piltzer Rebbe, also known by the title of his main work, the Siftei Tzadik or Sefsei Tzadik, was a Hasidic Rabbi who after the passing of his brother-in-law Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter, became a Rebbe for some Gerrer Hasidim, in Pilica, Poland.
Early years
He was born in Gora Kalwaria in 1848 to his father Rabbi Binyamin Leizer Justman and mother Tzina Pesa Justman née Alter, daughter of the Chiddushei Harim the first Gererr Rebbe, and named Pinchas Menachem. He was known to family and friends as Reb Mendele of Ger. His mother, Mrs. Tzina Pesa, died when Pinchas Menachem was young, Orphaned of his mother, he was brought up by his grandparents, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Alter (known as the Chiddushei Harim) and his wife. When he was about nine years old, his grandfather took him to visit the Kotzker Rebbe, an event which left a lifelong impression on him. He married Hendel Lea, daughter of his uncle Abraham Mordechai Alter, in 1864.[1]
Leadership
In 1905 When his brother-in-law, the second Gerrer rebbe - Rabbi Yehudah Aryeh Leib Alter, died, some of the Hasidim sought to bestow the mantle of leadership upon him. He moved out of Gora Kalwaria to Pilica, or Piltz as known by Hasidim, and become their Rebbe. In 1915 He moved to Wiershov, four years later he moved to Czestochowa.
Death and burial
He died in 1910 in Czestochowa, and was buried in the Jewish cemetery of Czestochowa next to his son Yitzchak Meir who died a year earlier.
