}}
'''Boyan''', also called Boyan-Ruzhin, is a [[Hasidic dynasties|Hasidic dynasty]] descended from [[Israel Friedman of Ruzhin|Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhin]]. It takes its name from [[Boiany]] in Austrian Bukovina, where [[Yitzchak Friedman of Boyan|Yitzchak Friedman]] set up a court in 1886. The ''YIVO Encyclopedia'' names Boyan-Ruzhin in Jerusalem and [[Sadigura (Hasidic dynasty)|Sadagora]] in [[Bnei Brak]] as the only active branches of the [[Ruzhin (Hasidic dynasty)|Ruzhin]] dynasty today.<ref name="YIVORuzhin" />

After the death of Rebbe [[Mordechai Shlomo Friedman]] in 1971 the group had no rebbe for nearly 14 years, until his grandson [[Nachum Dov Brayer]] was installed in 1984. ''[[Mishpacha]]'' reported in 2013 that Boyan had about 2,000 families, including about 700 in [[Borough Park]] and [[Monsey]] and hundreds in the West Bank settlement of [[Beitar Illit]], and that it banned unfiltered internet use among its members.<ref name="Mishpacha2013" /> Most of the associations bearing the Boyan name in Israel's register are based in the settlements of Beitar Illit and [[Modi'in Illit]].<ref name="AmutotBayan" />

== History ==
=== Ruzhin origins ===
YIVO describes the Ruzhin dynasty as founded by the Friedman family, with several dozen rebbes. Its founder, [[Israel Friedman of Ruzhin|Yisrael Friedman]] (1796–1850), was a great-grandson of [[Dov Ber of Mezeritch|Dov Ber, the Maggid of Mezeritch]], and led his court in Ruzhin in Kiev province in a "regal way". He fled Russia in 1842 and settled in [[Sadhora|Sadagora]] in Austrian Bukovina, and his sons founded courts in Sadagora, [[Chortkiv]], [[Husiatyn]], Ştefăneşti and elsewhere.<ref name="YIVORuzhin" />

His son [[Avraham Yaakov Friedman of Sadagora|Avraham Yaakov]] (1819–1883) led the Sadagora court. YIVO says he headed the Volhynia ''kolel'' and raised funds for the [[Tiferet Yisrael Synagogue]] in Jerusalem, named after his father. His elder son, [[Yitzchak Friedman of Boyan|Yitzchak]] (1849–1917), set up his own court in Boiany in 1886, while his younger son [[Yisrael Friedman of Sadagora|Yisrael]] (1852–1906) succeeded him in Sadagora.<ref name="YIVORuzhin" />

=== Boyan in the 20th century ===
YIVO says many of the dynasty's leaders moved to [[Vienna]] during the [[First World War]], and that many of them favoured [[Hibbat Zion|Ḥibat Tsiyon]].<ref name="YIVORuzhin" /> ''Mishpacha'' describes Yitzchak, author of ''Pachad Yitzchak'', as the founder of Boyan and the father of [[Mordechai Shlomo Friedman]], who moved his court to the [[Lower East Side]] of Manhattan 13 years before the [[Second World War]].<ref name="Mishpacha2013" /> ''[[Matzav.com]]'' says Mordechai Shlomo was 26 when he became rebbe.<ref name="Matzav2020" />

=== Vacancy and the installation of Nachum Dov Brayer ===
According to ''Mishpacha'', Mordechai Shlomo died in Adar 5731 (1971). Neither of his two sons would become rebbe, and his son-in-law, Rabbi [[Menachem Mendel Brayer]], also refused. The [[Ger (Hasidic dynasty)|Gerrer]] Rebbe, [[Yisrael Alter]], said Brayer's son would become the Boyaner Rebbe. On the Shabbat of Hanukkah 5745 (December 1984), after nearly 14 years without a rebbe, [[Nachum Dov Brayer]] was installed as rebbe. ''Mishpacha'' says he had been persuaded by the Gerrer and [[Chabad|Lubavitcher]] rebbes and by Rabbi [[Moshe Feinstein]]. Until then the Bohusher Rebbe had received petitions (''kvitlach'') from Boyan Hasidim.<ref name="Mishpacha2013" /> ''Matzav.com'' says Brayer was 20 when he was installed.<ref name="Matzav2020" />

Before moving to Israel Brayer studied at Yeshivas Chasam Sofer in [[Borough Park]]. In Sivan 5740 (1980) he married a daughter of Rabbi [[Zyshe Heschel]], an executive of the [[Orthodox Union]] and a brother of Rabbi [[Moshe Heschel]] of Kopycznitz; the [[Vizhnitz (Hasidic dynasty)|Vizhnitzer]] Rebbe conducted the ceremony.<ref name="Mishpacha2013" />

=== Community and institutions ===
''Mishpacha'' reported in 2013 that Boyan had about 2,000 families, including about 700 in Borough Park and Monsey and a few hundred in [[London]] and [[Antwerp]]. Hundreds of families lived in [[Beitar Illit]], which had five Boyan ''kloizen'' (prayer houses) and which "some say" was the group's real stronghold. The main building, on Malchei Yisrael Street in the [[Geula]] neighbourhood of Jerusalem, housed a yeshiva of about 400 students. There were junior yeshivas in Jerusalem (about 150 students) and Beitar Illit (about 200), and a talmud torah, a junior yeshiva and a large ''kloiz'' were being built in Borough Park. The girls' schools are called Beis Chava.<ref name="Mishpacha2013" />

The same report said thousands of Boyan Hasidim had signed a pledge not to use the internet or iPhones as a condition of membership, with filtered internet allowed only after review by a committee. In Boyan housing projects about 30% of homes were to be sold to people outside the group.<ref name="Mishpacha2013" /> Israel's register lists a housing committee of Boyan Hasidim, registered in 2024.<ref name="AmutotBayan" />

=== Military service ===
Writing in ''[[The Jerusalem Post]]'' in November 2023, Levi Cooper of the [[Pardes Institute of Jewish Studies|Pardes Institute]] said that "as a rule, Boyan Hassidim … do not serve in the IDF", but that the group is relatively open and some Zionist Boyan Hasidim do serve. On Rosh Hodesh Heshvan (15–16 October 2023), during the war with [[Hamas]], Brayer sent a prayer book, ''Tehinot Et Ratzon'', with a Hebrew letter to Hasidim whose children or spouses were serving. Cooper notes that the letter did not mention the state, the [[Israel Defense Forces|IDF]] or the word "soldier", and that the group's weekly email did not mention it.<ref name="JPost2023" />
