Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam (Template:Lang-he) is the current leader of the Bobov Hasidic dynasty.

He was born in 1955 to the third Bobover rebbe, Grand Rabbi Shlomo Halberstam and his second wife; Grand Rabbi Shlomo had lost his first wife and most of their children in the Holocaust. His son from his first marriage, Naftali Halberstam, survived and would eventually become the fourth Bobver Rebber.

After his father's passing in 2000, Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish older half-brother, Grand Rabbi Naftali Halberstam was appointed to be the fourth Bobover Rebbe, and Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish was appointed as Rav Hatza'ir ("Younger" Rabbi).

After Grand Rabbi Naftali's passing in 2005, the Bobov Community split their fellowship between the younger brother Ben Zion Aryeh Leibish Halberstam and the son in law Mordechai Dovid Unger, called Bobov-45.
