<![CDATA[<p class="_aupe copyable-text x15bjb6t x1n2onr6">Rav Yisrael Meir of Radin, better known as the Chofetz Chaim (1838-1933), is one of the most beloved historical figures in recent memory.

In 1925 his bags were packed and a home was even purchased for him in Petach Tikvah, but again it didn't work out.</p>
