Rabinowicz initially was rabbi of Novipola, and became the third Radomsker rebbe after his father's death in 1892.
Rabinowicz, who suffered from diabetes like his father,[3] also died at the age of 48, on 22 November 1910.[1][4] An estimated 25,000 people attended his funeral from all over Poland and Galicia, and special trains brought mourners from Łódź, Bendzin and Czestochowa.[2] His Torah teachings were compiled under the title Kenesses Yechezkel, published in 1913.
He had two sons, Elimelech Aryeh, the Rav of Siedliszcze, and Shlomo Chanoch, who succeeded him as Radomsker Rebbe.[2] Both sons were murdered in the Holocaust.[5][6]
