Chaim Zanvil Abramowitz (Yiddish: חיים זאנוויל אבראמאוויטש, Hebrew: חיים זנוויל אברהמוביץ, 1902 – 18 October 1995) was known as the Ribnitzer Rebbe (ריבניצער רבי),[1] and considered a great Hasidic tzadik of Rîbnița (present-day Transnistria, Moldova). Others, including singer Mordechai Ben David, who was one of the rabbi's close disciples, said that he was born in 1893 and was 102 when he died.[2]

Abramowitz was a prominent follower of Rabbi Avrohom Matisyohu of Shtefanesht.[3]
