Biography

The grave of Chanokh Heynekh HaKohen Levin in Aleksandrow Lodzki

Chanokh Heynekh was one of the leading students of the Rebbe Reb Simcha Bunim of Peshischa. After the latter's death he became one of the most prominent followers of Rebbe Menachem Mendel of Kotzk and the senior disciple of Chidushei hoRim[4][5]. Following the death of the Chidushei hoRim in 1866, the bulk of his numerous chasidim chose Rabbi Chanokh Heynekh as the next rebbe.

Chanokh Heynekh served as the Rabbi in the Jewish communities of Aleksander from 1837 (or earlier) till 1853, Nowy Dwór from 1853 to 1859[6], and Przasnysz from 1859 to 1864 (or 1866)[7]. After his tenure In Przasnysz he retired from the rabbinate and settled in Aleksander[7], where he lived during his period of leadership as rebbe.

His teachings are collected in Chashovoh leToivo (first published in 1929[8]), and are quoted widely.[9][10]
