Friedman is a sixth-generation descendant of Rebbe Yisrael of Rizhin. He resides in the southern Jerusalem neighborhood of Gilo. He is married to Rebbetzin Tziporah, a daughter of the Imrei Chaim of Vizhnitz. One of his sons is Hoshea Friedman, a brigadier general in the IDF. The Rebbe’s grandsons study in various hesder yeshivos.[1]
