Many swarmed to him for deliverance and hundreds of Jews filled his Beit Midrash during the festivals. During WWI, he immigrated to the city of Chernivtsi and established his court there. His son is the Kosov-USA Rebbe Avraham Yehoshua Heshel Hager who arrived in the US as a Holocaust survivor and established his Beit Midrash in Boro Park, NY.
