Naftali Tzvi Labin of Zidichov (נפתלי צבי לאבין מזידיטשוב) (born approx. 1916) is the current Rebbe of the Hasidic dynasty of Zidichov. He was born in Zidichov, which was then located in Galicia, a province of the former Austro-Hungarian Empire, where the Hasidut was first founded by Rabbi Tzvi Hirsh of Zidichov. He later replanted the Hasidut in London and then Brooklyn, New York.and Monticello NY
Labin was very close to most rabbis of the previous generation, including Rabbi Yoel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe; Rabbi Aharon Rokeach, the previous Rebbe of Belz; Rebbe Moshe Yitzchak Gvirzman (Reb Itzele) of Pshevorsk; and Rebbe Yaakov Leiser (Reb Yankele) of Pshevorsk.
Today the Rebbe lives in Williamsburg, New York.
[edit] Saying of the Rabbi
If you listen to and you do what and when evil wants you to do, evil owns you. If you say for evil ok I’ll do it, "just let me have 5 minutes before doing it" you are still his friend, but he dose not own you.
