| Languages | Notes |
+"Sanz-Klausenburg"+r (also Klausenberg, or simply Sanz or Tsanz) is a Hasidic dynasty founded by Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, a great-grandson of Chaim Halberstam of Sanz (Nowy Sącz, in southern Poland). Halberstam became the Hasidic rabbi of Klausenburg (Cluj, now in Romania) in the 1920s, lost his wife and 11 children in the Holocaust, and rebuilt his following in the displaced persons camps of Germany, then in New York and in Israel.[1][2][3][4]
In 1956 he laid the foundation stone of Kiryat Sanz, a Hasidic neighbourhood in Netanya, and in the 1970s he founded the Laniado Hospital there.[5][6][7] He also set up a community in Union City, New Jersey. After his death in 1994 his two sons divided the leadership: Zvi Elimelech Halberstam became rebbe in Israel and Shmuel Dovid Halberstam in the United States.[8][9][4]
History
Sanz origins
The dynasty takes its name from Sanz (Nowy Sącz), where Chaim Halberstam, author of Divrei Ḥayim, served as rabbi from 1830. David Assaf, writing in the YIVO Encyclopedia, describes him as a leading Galician halakhic authority and notes his 1869 ban on the Sadagora Hasidim.[1] Sources disagree on his year of birth. Rabinowicz, and Heilman in two passages, give 1793.[10][11][12] Elsewhere Heilman gives 1797, and YIVO gives 1797 or 1799.[13][1] All three agree that he died in 1876. Rabinowicz writes that he raised money for a synagogue in Safed six years before his death, and that two of his sons-in-law settled there.[10]
Halberstam's descendants founded several courts, among them Bobov.[13][1] According to YIVO, his son Barukh of Gorlice (1830–1906) led the family's opposition to Zionism. The Sanz institutions' biography gives Barukh's dates as 1829–1906 and names him as Yekutiel Yehuda's grandfather.[1][4]
Klausenburg
Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam was born in Rudnik. Rabinowicz gives his birth date as 4 Shevat 1904, and YIVO also gives 1904.[2][1] Heilman gives 1905, the Sanz institutions' biography gives 10 January 1905, and The Jerusalem Post also gives 1905.[14][7][4][15] His father, Tzvi Hirsch, the rabbi of Rudnik, died in 1918. In 1921 Yekutiel Yehuda married Hannah (Chana), daughter of Ḥayim Tsevi Teitelbaum, the rabbi of Sighet.[2][4] Rabinowicz gives Teitelbaum's dates as 1882–1926 and YIVO as 1880–1926.[2][16]
After five years in his father-in-law's house, he became rabbi of the Yereim Hasidic community of Klausenburg. YIVO dates this to 1926 and the Sanz institutions' biography to 1927.[2][1][4]
Holocaust
Rabinowicz writes that the Klausenburg ghetto, which held 16,763 people, was set up in May 1944, and that its inmates were deported to Auschwitz in six transports between 25 May and 9 June 1944.[3] Halberstam himself was held in Hungarian labour camps and was made to work in the ruins of the Warsaw Ghetto, before being moved to Auschwitz, Dachau and Mühldorf.[3][4] Rabinowicz and YIVO say his wife and 11 of his children were killed.[3][1] The Sanz institutions' biography says his wife and the nine children still with her were deported from Klausenburg to Auschwitz.[4]
Displaced persons camps
After liberation Halberstam worked in the Feldafing, Landsberg and Föhrenwald camps. He set up kosher kitchens, yeshivas, girls' schools and printing presses to reprint religious books.[17] The Sanz institutions' biography says he organised a survivors' body, Sh'erit ha-Pletah ("the surviving remnant"), which ran schools and yeshivas in 19 displaced persons camps. It also says he set rules allowing survivors who had no proof of a spouse's death to remarry.[4]
United States
Halberstam settled in New York in 1947. He lived first on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and then in Williamsburg, and he also founded a community in Union City. He opened schools for boys and girls and the Shearis Hapleita (She'erit HaPeletah) yeshiva, and in 1952 he founded what Rabinowicz calls the first kollel in the United States. In 1954 the community bought the Marcy Theatre in Williamsburg and turned it into a synagogue. Branches of the yeshiva opened in Montreal and Mexico City.[18]
In New York he married Ḥaya Neḥama, daughter of Shmuel David Unger, the rabbi of Nitra (1886–1944). They had five daughters and two sons.[18] The Sanz institutions' biography dates the wedding to 22 August 1947.[4]
Kiryat Sanz, Netanya
Rabinowicz writes that Halberstam first visited Israel in 1955 and spent years looking for a site. He turned down Jerusalem, Safed and Bnei Brak, and he met David Ben-Gurion, who urged him to settle in the Negev.[10] On the advice of Netanya's founding mayor, Oved Ben-Ami, he bought 300 dunams of land in Netanya and named the settlement after Sanz. The foundation stone was laid on 4 March 1956, and in 1960 he arrived with a Sefer Torah and about 50 immigrants from America.[19] Heilman places the building of Kiryat Sanz in the mid-1950s.[7] The Jerusalem Post describes it as the first Hasidic neighbourhood in an Israeli development town.[15]
His uncle by marriage, Joel Teitelbaum of Satmar, saw the move as tainted by secular Zionism. Halberstam replied that the sanctity of the Land of Israel did not depend on the government in power.[19][20] Rabinowicz writes that in 1963 a religious dispute nearly led him to leave Israel, and that President Zalman Shazar talked him out of it.[21]
Biale and his co-authors write that the move prompted "a ferocious attack" by Teitelbaum, and that "Defamations, diatribes, and some physical violence accompanied this clash".[22] In a newspaper interview Halberstam argued that after the Holocaust "the Land of Israel seems to be the only refuge for the Torah and, above all—there are no Gentiles there", and that whoever stays in the Diaspora for religious reasons "virtually anchors himself to the Gentiles that are there". The authors write that he "was even more vitriolic against non-Jews" than against secular Jews, but that he instructed that there be no discrimination between Jew and Gentile in his Netanya hospital, and ruled that doctors should break the Sabbath if healing a Gentile required it.[23] They note that the Netanya institutions serve "the residents of the whole area, including Arabs".[24] In his Holocaust theology, they write, the nations of the world were "the earthly embodiments of the evil snake", and "this sweeping hostility to the Gentiles may explain why Halberstam, like the Rebbe of Belz, embraced a kind of ultra-Orthodox Zionism, leading to the establishment of the settlement of Kiryat Sandz".[25] He opposed Zionism "on account of its secular character" rather than on the messianic grounds of Satmar, "even though he supported the renewed settlement in the Land of Israel", and he coined the hostile term goyhudim ("Jewentiles") for secular Jews.[26]
In the late 1990s Rabinowicz described Kiryat Sanz as home to about 400 families. Its Great Synagogue has an Italian Ark about 300 years old and more than 1,000 seats.[5] The neighbourhood has schools, a yeshiva and a kollel, as well as institutions for Sephardi Jews, including an orphanage and a synagogue using the Sephardi rite.[27][6] It also has a home for the elderly, a diamond factory, shops and a hotel, and the beach has separate bathing days for men and women. Only religious Jews are admitted as residents, and television is not allowed.[6]
Other communities in Israel
In 1964 Halberstam founded a Shikkun Sanz housing estate at Tel Arza in north-west Jerusalem. Rabinowicz also lists Sanz institutions in Bnei Brak, Petah Tikva, Tiberias and Safed.[8] YIVO notes that, besides Kiryat Sanz and the hospital, he founded other neighbourhoods in Israel.[1]
Last years and succession
Rabinowicz writes that ill health kept Halberstam in New York for his last years, and that he had heart surgery there in 1968.[8] According to The Jewish Link, he moved from Israel to Union City in 1972.[28] He died on 9 Tammuz 1994 (the Sanz institutions' biography gives 18 June 1994) and was buried in the Sanz section of the Netanya cemetery. His will forbade eulogies at his funeral.[8][9][4]
His sons divided the leadership. Zvi Elimelech, born in New York in Heshvan 1953, became rebbe in Israel. Shmuel David, born in New York in 1957, became rebbe of Sanz in the United States. Rabinowicz says Sanz Hasidim outside Israel and the United States accept both as joint rebbes.[8][9] The Sanz institutions' biography calls them the Sanzer Rebbe of Israel and the Klausenberger Rebbe of Borough Park.[4]

Union City
According to The Jewish Link, Halberstam began planning another American community in 1965, after friction with what he regarded as an anti-religious Israeli government. Hasidim began arriving in Union City, in Hudson County, in the mid-1960s. A former resident told the paper that by then the town's older Jewish community could no longer make up a minyan. He arranged the purchase and renovation of several buildings there.[28]
In 1971 he made his son-in-law Shlomo Goldman, who had headed the kollel at Kiryat Sanz, rosh yeshiva and rav of Union City. Halberstam himself moved there in 1972.[28] After 1994 Goldman led the community as the Sanz-Zvhiller Rebbe. He opened kollels, a cheder and a girls' school. After his death in 2017 he was buried on the Mount of Olives, and Shaul Yehuda Prizant, another son-in-law of Halberstam, became rav.[28]
The community's yeshiva describes Kehillas Sanz Zvhill as a small community with a cheder, a mesivta, a girls' school, a kollel and a central beis medrash. It says about half its members study in kollel or work in Jewish education, while the rest commute to Manhattan and elsewhere.[30]
Laniado Hospital
Halberstam founded the Laniado Hospital (Sanz Medical Center) in Kiryat Sanz. Rabinowicz writes that it opened in June 1975 as a four-room outpatients' clinic and became a full hospital at the end of 1976.[6] The hospital's own website gives 1976 as the founding year and says it opened with an obstetrics department. It names the hospital after two brothers from Aleppo, Alphonse and Yaakov Avraham Laniado, who ran the family bank in Switzerland and left money in their wills for a hospital in Israel. The rest of the cost was raised by Halberstam.[31] The hospital and its American fundraising body both link its founding to a vow Halberstam made during the Holocaust.[31][32]
The sources give different bed counts:
- Rabinowicz reported 169 beds plus 132 in its geriatric centres.[33]
- The hospital's website gives 460 beds.[31]
- American Friends of Laniado Hospital gives 500.[32]
Both organisations say it is the only hospital serving the Netanya area, a population of about 500,000.[31][32] Rabinowicz notes that the hospital runs a nursing school and is supervised by the Israeli Ministry of Health. He reports some 20,000 emergency patients in 1993 and 35,000 in 1995.[34]
The hospital's founding principles say it is run according to the Shulchan Aruch, under a rabbinical authority whose rulings bind the staff. Work forbidden on Shabbat is to be done by non-Jews wherever possible.[35] The hospital says it has never joined a strike and treats everyone regardless of religion, race or nationality.[31] American Friends of Laniado Hospital says the hospital has treated many soldiers wounded in the Gaza war, and it describes a Home Front Command officer who had a heart attack while serving at the hospital.[32] In 2024 The Jerusalem Post reported that Laniado was raising funds for equipment to treat casualties of the war with Gaza and Hezbollah, including people evacuated from towns near the Lebanese border.[15]
