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:
“—the dark ajar, the rocks breaking with light,
and undisturbed, unbreathing flame,
colorless, sparkless, freely fed on straw,
and, lulled within, a family with pets,
—and looked and looked our infant sight away.”
—Elizabeth Bishop (1911–1979)
“Freud is all nonsense; the secret of neurosis is to be found in the family battle of wills to see who can refuse longest to help with the dishes. The sink is the great symbol of the bloodiness of family life.”
—Julian Mitchell (20th century)
“Female Virtues are of a Domestick turn. The Family is the proper Province for Private Women to Shine in. If they must be showing their Zeal for the Publick, let it not be against those who are perhaps of the same Family, or at least of the same Religion or Nation, but against those who are the open, professed, undoubted Enemies of their Faith, Liberty, and Country.”
—Joseph Addison (1672–1719)
