'''Nadvorna''' is a [[Hasidic dynasties|Hasidic dynasty]] that began in Eastern Galicia and is named after the town of [[Nadvirna|Nadvorna]]. ''[[Israel National News]]'' says it had many followers in Hungary and Romania, that [[Mordechai Leifer of Nadvorna|Mordechai Leifer]] was its best-known rebbe, and that its rebbes descend from [[Meir of Premishlan]]. It is also the source of other groups, such as Chust and Kretchmer, because in Nadvorna it is accepted that descendants of the rebbes found their own groups.<ref name="INN2012" />

The main Israeli branch was led from [[Bnei Brak]] by the Rosenbaum family. After Rebbe [[Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum]] died in 2012, four of his sons were installed as rebbes in Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, [[Beitar Illit]] and [[Elad]].<ref name="BHOL2012" /> A land dispute between the Bnei Brak and Jerusalem courts went to court and split them for about five years, until the two rebbes were reconciled in September 2026.<ref name="Matzav2026" /><ref name="YWN2026" />

== History ==
=== Origins ===
According to ''Gal Einai'', [[Mordechai Leifer of Nadvorna|Mordechai Leifer]] was born on 19 Iyar 5584 (1824) to [[Yissachar Dov Leifer|Yissachar Dov]], "the first Rebbe of Nadvorna". His uncle, [[Meir of Premishlan]], was the ''sandak'' at his circumcision. He married Chayah, daughter of Shmuel Shmelke Taubes of [[Iași]]. After his marriage he and his brother Aharon Leib were rebbes in Nadvorna together for a short time, before he moved to Hungary, where he lived in Kyvyoshad, [[Khust|Chust]] and [[Bushtyno]]. He died on the first day of Sukkot 5655 (1894) and was buried in Bushtyno.<ref name="GalEinai2023" />

=== Chust ===
A translated chapter on Chust in a [[Yizkor book]] of the Maramureș region, published by JewishGen, says Mordechai lived in Chust in the lifetime of Rabbi [[Moshe Schick|Moshe Schick (Maharam Shik)]], although the two never met face to face. He then moved to nearby Bushtyno. A eulogy in the ''Sigheter Zeitung'' said he had come to Hungary 30 years before his death, which would date his arrival to about 1865. Among his customs, he said the morning prayers towards evening.<ref name="JewishGen" />

His younger son, [[Yisrael Yaakov Leifer]], settled in Chust in his father's lifetime, lived there for nearly 40 years and died on 9 Adar II 5689 (1929). Of his two eldest sons, one lived in [[Satu Mare|Satmar]] and the other in Kretshnif. Yisrael Yaakov's son [[Shmuel Shmelke Leifer]] died on 29 Sivan 5694 (1934). His widow, Yuta Roiza, was deported in 1941 and was reportedly murdered at [[Kamianets-Podilskyi|Kamenetz-Podolsk]]. The last representative of the dynasty in Chust, Aharon Moshe, survived the Holocaust in hiding and settled in [[Borough Park]].<ref name="JewishGen" />

=== The Rosenbaum rebbes in Israel ===
[[Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum]] was the son of Rebbe [[Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum]], author of ''Devar Chaim''. His mother was a daughter of [[Eliezer Zeev of Kretchnif]]. The sources disagree on some details. ''[[Matzav.com]]'' says he was born in [[Sighetu Marmației|Siget]] and gives his mother's name as Sima Raizel. ''[[Dei'ah veDibur]]'' says he was born in [[Siret|Seret]] on 23 Nisan 5690 (1930) and names her as Leah.<ref name="Matzav2012" /><ref name="DD2012" /> During the Second World War he and his family were held at the Djorin camp in [[Transnistria Governorate|Transnistria]]. Before the rest of his family, he travelled to Israel on an illegal immigrant ship to study at the [[Dushinsky (Hasidic dynasty)|Dushinsky]] yeshiva in Jerusalem.<ref name="DD2012" />

''Dei'ah veDibur'' says his father came to Israel in 1949, settled in [[Jaffa]] after a short stay in Jerusalem, and founded the yeshiva Maamar Mordechai – Nadvorna. The yeshiva later moved to Bnei Brak, and the son followed in 5720 (1959–60).<ref name="DD2012" /> ''Israel National News'' says father and son came to Israel after the Second World War and led the group together.<ref name="INN2012" /> The sources also disagree on when his father died. ''Matzav.com'' says 1972, while ''Dei'ah veDibur'' gives 15 Tevet 5738 (1978) and says the son led the Nadvorna institutions for 34 years.<ref name="Matzav2012" /><ref name="DD2012" />

''Israel National News'' says the group grew significantly under their leadership, built many Torah institutions and has congregations in [[Hadera]], [[Safed|Tzfat]], [[Haifa]], [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]] and [[London]]. It describes the rebbes' customs of playing the violin on special occasions and of wearing a white ''gartel'' over a colourful ''bekishe'' and a white crocheted ''kippah'' under the ''shtreimel''.<ref name="INN2012" />

Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum died at [[Beilinson Hospital]] in [[Petah Tikva]] on 1 March 2012, aged 82, and was buried next to his father on the [[Mount of Olives]].<ref name="INN2012" /> His funeral left from Kiryat Nadvorna in Bnei Brak and stopped at the Nadvorna ''beis medrash'' in Jerusalem. ''Dei'ah veDibur'' places that building on Ezra Street, and ''Matzav.com'' places it on Tzefaniah Street.<ref name="DD2012" /><ref name="Matzav2012" />

=== Succession in 2012 ===
''[[The Yeshiva World]]'', citing ''Chadrei Chareidim'', reported that his will, begun on 28 Elul 5771 and completed on 7 Shevat 5772, named his eldest son, [[Eliezer Zeev Rosenbaum|Eliezer Ze'ev]], as leader with the Bnei Brak institutions. It gave [[Meir Yitzchak Isaac Rosenbaum|Meir Yitzchak Isaac]] the Jerusalem institutions, [[Asher Yeshaya Rosenbaum|Asher Yishaiya]] those in Beitar and [[Yosef Naftali Rosenbaum|Yosef Naftoli]] those in Elad. It also said no new yeshivas should be opened for five years.<ref name="YWN2012" /> ''Matzav.com'' lists these four sons as heads of rabbinical courts in those places, along with three more sons and three sons-in-law.<ref name="Matzav2012" />

''[[Behadrei Haredim]]'' reported that Eliezer Zeev was installed at the funeral. At the end of the mourning week, at a gathering in the great ''beis medrash'' of Kiryat Nadvorna in Bnei Brak, Meir Yitzchak Eizik was installed as rebbe of Nadvorna-Jerusalem, Asher Yeshaya of Nadvorna-Beitar Illit and Yosef Naftali of Nadvorna-Elad. Rabbi Mordechai Gerlitz presented the arrangement, a "Mishmeret Shalom" committee was set up, and each of the group's 1,000 families could choose which court to join.<ref name="BHOL2012" />

== Civil cases ==
In July 2009 ''The Yeshiva World'' reported that Yaakov Kind, publisher of the newspaper ''Chadoshoti'', had sued the Haifa Nadvorna Rebbe, Rabbi Dovid Laufer, and the community rabbi Yaakov Avargil. The suit concerned a ''kol korei'' (public proclamation) they had circulated declaring the paper unsuitable for Haredi readers. Other rabbis who signed it included representatives of the [[Belz (Hasidic dynasty)|Belz]], [[Ger (Hasidic dynasty)|Gur]] and Seret-Vizhnitz communities. The report gives the claim as NIS 250,000, says Kind put his losses at NIS 500,000, and says the suit was filed with the "Haifa Rabbinical Court".<ref name="YWN2009" /> No source read for this page reports the outcome.

In September 2026 ''Matzav.com'' and ''The Yeshiva World'' reported that the Nadvorna Rebbe in Bnei Brak and his brother, the Nadvorna-Jerusalem Rebbe, had met in Bnei Brak, ending a five-year break between the two courts. The dispute concerned land next to the Nadvorna-Jerusalem ''beis medrash'' owned by Rabbi Meir Levin, director general of the Nadvorna institutions, and became a legal case. ''Matzav.com'' says the case "ultimately resulted" in the Jerusalem community being required to pay for the property. ''The Yeshiva World'' says it ended in "an agreement requiring" the payment.<ref name="Matzav2026" /><ref name="YWN2026" /> Both reports say Levin gave up about 40% of the property's value; ''The Yeshiva World'' attributes this to ''Behadrei Haredim''. The Jerusalem community later agreed to pay the legal costs and sent a letter of apology. The meeting was brokered by Rabbi Chaim Meir Katz, director general of the [[Vizhnitz (Hasidic dynasty)|Vizhnitz]] institutions in Elad, and the strategist Yekusiel Yehuda Ganzel.<ref name="Matzav2026" /><ref name="YWN2026" />

 === The Rosenbaum rebbes in Israel ===
 [[Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum]] was the son of Rebbe [[Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum]], author of ''Devar Chaim''. His mother was a daughter of [[Eliezer Zeev of Kretchnif]]. The sources disagree on some details. ''[[Matzav.com]]'' says he was born in [[Sighetu Marmației|Siget]] and gives his mother's name as Sima Raizel. ''[[Dei'ah veDibur]]'' says he was born in [[Siret|Seret]] on 23 Nisan 5690 (1930) and names her as Leah.<ref name="Matzav2012" /><ref name="DD2012" /> During the Second World War he and his family were held at the Djorin camp in [[Transnistria Governorate|Transnistria]]. Before the rest of his family, he travelled to Israel on an illegal immigrant ship to study at the [[Dushinsky (Hasidic dynasty)|Dushinsky]] yeshiva in Jerusalem.<ref name="DD2012" />
-''Dei'ah veDibur'' says his father came to Israel in 1949, settled in [[Jaffa]] after a short stay in Jerusalem, and founded the yeshiva Maamar Mordechai – Nadvorna. The yeshiva later moved to Bnei Brak, and the son followed in 5720 (1959–60).<ref name="DD2012" /> ''Israel National News'' says father and son came to Israel after the Second World War and led the group together.<ref name="INN2012" /> The sources also disagree on when his father died. ''Matzav.com'' says 1972, while ''Dei'ah veDibur'' gives 15 Tevet 5738 (1978) and says the son led the Nadvorna institutions for 34 years.<ref name="Matzav2012" /><ref name="DD2012" />

 ''Israel National News'' says the group grew significantly under their leadership, built many Torah institutions and has congregations in [[Hadera]], [[Safed|Tzfat]], [[Haifa]], [[Williamsburg, Brooklyn|Williamsburg]] and [[London]]. It describes the rebbes' customs of playing the violin on special occasions and of wearing a white ''gartel'' over a colourful ''bekishe'' and a white crocheted ''kippah'' under the ''shtreimel''.<ref name="INN2012" />
 Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum died at [[Beilinson Hospital]] in [[Petah Tikva]] on 1 March 2012, aged 82, and was buried next to his father on the [[Mount of Olives]].<ref name="INN2012" /> His funeral left from Kiryat Nadvorna in Bnei Brak and stopped at the Nadvorna ''beis medrash'' in Jerusalem. ''Dei'ah veDibur'' places that building on Ezra Street, and ''Matzav.com'' places it on Tzefaniah Street.<ref name="DD2012" /><ref name="Matzav2012" />
