Background: The Rebbe Rabbi Yehosef HaLevi Rottenberg, head of the Căuşeni dynasty, son of Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Tłuste, son of Rabbi Yehosef of Kozowa - son-in-law of the Rebbe Rabbi Zvi Hirsch of Zidichov. One of the greatly pious men of his generation, he lived a life of holiness and purity, with much self-affliction and fasting. He travelled to many of the great chassidim of his generation, and Rabbi Chaim of Sanz described him as having the brain of his grandfather, the Ateret Zvi of Zidichov.
He was born in 1853. In 1875, he succeeded his father-in-law, Rabbi Meshulam Feish HaLevi of Tosh, from where he moved to Nyirmada, Debrecen, and in 1897 he served as Rabbi of Căuşeni, by whose name he was known.
