Rabbi Shalom Dovid Ungar, the Admor of Zabno, was born in 1870. His father was Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak of Zabno (of the Dąbrowa dynasty). His mother was the daughter of Rabbi Meir of Zikov, the "Imrei Noam". He served as Rabbi of Rakov and, after his father's death in 1892, took over his position in Zabno. During the First World War, he moved to Vienna and later lived in Trantov. He died in 1923 and was buried in Zabno. Refer to Y. Alfasi, Encyclopedia L'Chassidut, 3, 1927; and Encyclopedia L'Chachmei Galicia, volume 1, columns 58-59.
