== Dynasty link ==
The link to [[Sanz-Klausenburg (Hasidic dynasty)|Sanz-Klausenburg]] rests on the following register entries:
* The charity's working name is Kollel Sanz.<ref name="CC" />
* Its address, 124 Stamford Hill, London N16 6QT, is the address that the register gives for Friends of Sanz Institutions.<ref name="CC" /><ref name="CCFOSI" />
* Its trustee David Klein is also a trustee of Friends of Sanz Institutions.<ref name="CC" /><ref name="CCFOSI" />
The register itself does not name a rebbe or a dynasty. The Sanz name is also borne by other descendants of the Sanz line, so the link is drawn from the name and the shared address and trustee, not from a statement by the charity.
