The MeRabbeinu family descends from Rabbi Yehuda Hanasi and hence their family name. "The Brothers from Kaminka" were among the Ba'al Shem Tov's beloved disciples.
Rabbi Shmuel Kaufman, son of Rebbe Avraham David of Myropil, Wołyń, Ukraine), succeeded his father as Rebbe and in 1923 immigrated to the US and established his court in New York where he became renowned by the name "The Tzaddik of Myropil". Most of his writings remained in Russia and were lost. Some of his novellae were printed in the "Pardess" periodical as well as in his book "Tiferet Shmuel" which he printed in New York in 1926. The last Rebbe of the Kaminka– Myropil dynasty, his son R' Moshe did not continue serving as Rebbe. Died in 1938.
