Editing Meir Shlomo Yanovsky (section)

== His Grandson the Rebbe ==
While Reb Levi Yitzchok was supported by his father-in-law, his firstborn son, the Rebbe, was born on Nissan 11, 1902.

The bris milah took place on Nissan 18, Chol HaMoed Pesach (which was also his father RLY"Tz's birthday) in his grandfather Reb Meir Shlomo Yanovsky's house in Nikolayev, Ukraine. Reb Levik celebrated his twenty-fourth birthday that day. Many Nikolayev Jews participated in this great simcha and heard divrei Torah from the baby's grandfather and from his father - Reb Levi Yitzchok - who spoke at length about the connection between the two events that occurred that day. It is told that among those invited to the bris seudah was the chossid Reb Asher Grossman, shochet of Nikolayev. However, since he was strict about not eating outside his home (as was the custom of chassidim), he didn't taste anything from the served meal. When Reb Meir Shlomo noticed Reb Asher's conduct, he was disappointed and said to him: "Asher! In truth you deserve rebuke because by me you are allowed to eat. But what can I do, I cannot rebuke you since you once saved my life."

The Rebbe would stay at his grandfather's home during his childhood years, for several weeks at the end of the summer months, and his wife Rebbetzin Rachel would care for the Rebbe.

The Rebbe taught one of his grandfather's nigunim on the words from Selichos "Rachamana D'anei" on Simchas Torah 1959.
