Rabbi Noach of Lechovitch רבי נח מלעכאוויטש
the second rebbe of Lechovitch; teacher of Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin and Rabbi Avraham of Slonim
Son of Rabbi Mordechai. He took the court after his father's death in 1810.
His disciples were Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin and Rabbi Avraham of Slonim, and all four—Rabbi Mordechai, himself, and these two—stand together in the Or Yesharim as a single chain.
He died on 8 Tishrei 1832. After him the Lechovitch chasidim divided: some followed his son-in-law, who stayed in Lechovitch, some his nephew Rabbi Shlomo Chaim, who settled in Koidanov, and most accepted Rabbi Moshe of Kobrin.
