Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Husiatyn (1858-1949, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut II, pp. 561-562) was considered the elder of the Rebbes of Ruzhin. Named after his paternal grandfather, founder of the dynasty, R. Yisrael of Ruzhin, he was the last Rebbe from the generation of the latter's grandsons. In 1894, he succeeded his father Rebbe Mordechai Shraga as Rebbe of Husiatyn, and thousands of his father's Chassidim became his followers. In his later years, he immigrated to Eretz Israel, settling and establishing his court in Tel-Aviv.
Rebbe Shlomo Friedman of Chortkov (1894-1958, Encyclopedia of Chassidut III, p. 713), author of Divrei Shlomo, was the son of Rebbe Nachum Mordechai of Chortkov and son-in-law of Rebbe Yisrael Friedman of Sadigura. He succeeded his father as Rebbe in Tel-Aviv, 1946, and was the last Rebbe of the Chortkov dynasty.
