Family
Friedman and his first wife, Sarah, had six sons and four daughters. These were:
- Sholom Yosef (Sadigura); he led his father's Hasidim, together with his brothers, for only a year until his death in 1851; his son, Rabbi Yitzchok, became the first Bohusher Rebbe
- Avrohom Yaakov (Sadigura)
- Menachem Nochum (Shtefenesht)
- Dov Ber (Leova)
- Dovid Moshe (Chortkov)
- Mordechai Shraga (Husyatin)
- Chaya Malka, whose second marriage was to Rabbi Yitzchak Twersky, first Rebbe of Skver
- Gittel Tova, wife of Yosef Monazon of Berdichev, scion of a wealthy banking family
- Miriam, wife of Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager, first Rebbe of Vizhnitz
- Leah, wife of Dovid Halpern of Berdichev, scion of another wealthy banking family; their son Shalom Yosef (1856–1940) became the first Vasloi Rebbe in 1896
Shortly after the death of his wife Sarah in 1847, the Rebbe remarried to Malka, the widow of Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch of Rimanov. She had a seven-year-old girl and three-year-old boy from her first marriage; this second marriage did not produce children.

Famous quotes containing the word family:
“O God, and the wedding! All her family and her friends
and only a handful of mine all scroungy and bearded
just wait to get at the drinks and food—”
—Gregory Corso (b. 1930)
“... a family I know ... bought an acre in the country on which to build a house. For many years, while they lacked the money to build, they visited the site regularly and picnicked on a knoll, the site’s most attractive feature. They liked so much to visualize themselves as always there, that when they finally built they put the house on the knoll. But then the knoll was gone. Somehow they had not realized they would destroy it and lose it by supplanting it with themselves.”
—Jane Jacobs (b. 1916)
“My family pride is something inconceivable. I can’t help it. I was born sneering.”
—Sir William Schwenck Gilbert (1836–1911)
