Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok
Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok is a Hasidic group located in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood, just inside the green line. It is an offshoot of the Hasidic group Toldos Aharon, which is in turn an offshoot of Shomer Emunim. It is led by its Rebbe, Rabbi Shmuel Yaakov Kohn.
Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok is one of the groups that make up the Edah HaChareidis. Until his death in May 2009, Rabbi Meir Brandsdorfer served as both the halachic decisor of Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok and member of the Badatz of the Edah HaChareidis.
The groups is named after Rabbi Avrohom Yitzchok Kohn (4 January 1914 – 8 December 1996) who was the founder of the Toldos Aharon Hasidim.[1] He was the son-in-law of Rabbi Aharon Roth, and the Toldos Avrohom Yitzchok is named after him.[2]
Kohn was born in Safed to Rabbi Aharon David and his wife Scheindel Bracha.[3] His mother was the granddaughter of Rabbi Avraham Yitzhak Heller, son of Rabbi Template:Ill. As a child, his family moved to Transylvania, Romania. He studied with Rabbi Yisrael Friend of Hunyad, the son of Rabbi Template:Ill and with Rabbi. He was a disciple and follower of Rabbi Joel Teitelbaum, the Satmar Rebbe.
