[[Tzvi Rabinowicz]] calls [[Itamar Rosenbaum]] the "grand seigneur" of the dynasty. He was born in [[Mihăileni]], Romania, in 1886, and descended from [[Meir of Premishlan|Meir of Przemyslany]], Tzvi Hirsch of Nadvorna and [[Mordechai Leifer of Nadvorna|Mordechai of Nadvorna]].<ref name="Rabinowicz215" /> He married Malkah, a daughter of Asher Yeshayahu of [[Kolbuszowa]], lived in [[Vienna]] and Marmaros during the First World War, and then settled in [[Chernivtsi|Czernowitz]].<ref name="Rabinowicz216" /> When the deportations from Czernowitz to [[Transnistria Governorate|Transnistria]] began in October 1941, he was among some 20,000 Jews left behind with permits declaring them useful to the economy, and he survived the war there. Unable to get British permission to settle in the Land of Israel, he settled in [[Washington Heights, Manhattan|Washington Heights]], New York. Rabinowicz says he disapproved of rebbes taking part in politics and deplored [[Joel Teitelbaum|Yoel Teitelbaum]]'s anti-Israel activities.<ref name="Rabinowicz217" /> He later lived in Yad Eliyahu in [[Tel Aviv]], in an apartment attached to his ''beit midrash'', and died on 22 Sivan 1973. Rabinowicz says all his sons became rebbes in different places.<ref name="Rabinowicz215" /><ref name="Rabinowicz218" />

Rabinowicz writes that Itamar's eldest son, [[Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum|Hayyim Mordechai]], was born on 24 Iyar 1903. His mother, Malka, descended from [[Naftali Zvi of Ropshitz|Naftali of Ropczyce]]. In 1922 he married a daughter of [[Eliezer Zeev of Kretchnif|Eliezer Zeev of Kretshneff]] and later settled in [[Siret|Seret]]. He visited the Holy Land in 1936, survived the Holocaust and came to Israel in 1948, living in Jerusalem near the [[Mandelbaum Gate]] before moving to [[Jaffa]] and then, in 1962, to [[Bnei Brak]]. His son Ezekiel died on 3 Kislev 1947 after being sent on the illegal immigrant ship ''Knesset Yisrael''. He died on 15 Tevet 1978, was buried on the [[Mount of Olives]] next to his father, and left six sons, all of whom became rebbes.<ref name="Rabinowicz214" /><ref name="Rabinowicz215" /> ''Dei'ah veDibur'' dates his arrival in Israel to 1949 and the son's move to Bnei Brak to 1959–60 (see below).<ref name="DD2012" />

According to Rabinowicz, [[Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum|Yaakov Yissachar Ber]] came to Israel on his own in 1946, studied at the yeshiva of [[Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky|Yosef Tzvi Duszinsky]], and in 1950 married a daughter of Moshe Hersch, the rabbi of [[Arad, Romania|Arad]]. Rabinowicz dates to 1952 the building he put up, with money from Meir Rosenthal of [[Frankfurt]], on a 20-dunam site on Ezra and Hazon Ish streets in Bnei Brak. It housed the Maamar Mordecai yeshiva (250 students), the Tiferet Mordecai Talmud Torah (400 students), ''kollelim'' and a ''beit midrash'' that Rabinowicz calls the largest Hasidic synagogue in Bnei Brak. He describes the rebbe as non-political, with cordial relations with the [[Edah HaChareidis|Eda Haredit]] and [[Agudat Yisrael|the Aguda]].<ref name="Rabinowicz215" />
  
 
''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]].

=== Branches in about 2000 ===

[[Tzvi Rabinowicz]] quotes a Hasidic saying, "There is no town without a rebbe of Nadvorna", and writes that sons, brothers and sons-in-law all became rebbes. He lists, as of about 2000:<ref name="Rabinowicz214" />
 +
* in [[Jerusalem]]: Tzvi Hirsch Rosenbaum of Kretchneff, Levi Yitzhak Leifer and Yehiel Leifer;
 +
* in [[Bnei Brak]]: Yitzhak Eizig of Zutzke, Nathan David Rosenbaum, [[Yaakov Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum|Yaakov Yissachar Ber]], Yosef Leifer and Meir, known as the Przemyslaner;
 +

Rabinowicz names Nadvorna among the dynasties with internal friction, in which younger sons and brothers do not defer to a single chosen rebbe.<ref name="Rabinowicz190" />
 +
 +
=== Kretchnif in Rehovot ===
 +
[[Tzvi Rabinowicz]] describes the Kretchnif (Kretshneff) court in [[Rehovot]], an offshoot linked to Nadvorna by descent and marriage. Its rebbes' ancestor Eliezer of Kretshneff ([[Crăciunești]], Romania) descended from [[Meir of Premishlan|Meir of Przemyslany]] and Mordechai Rosenbaum of Nadvorna.<ref name="Rabinowicz242" /> His grandson [[David Moshe Rosenbaum]], born in Kretshneff at the end of Yom Kippur 1922, survived several labour camps and [[Auschwitz concentration camp|Auschwitz]]. In 1948 in [[Sighetu Marmației|Sziget]] he married Esther Rachel, a daughter of [[Chaim Mordechai Rosenbaum|Hayyim Mordecai of Nadvorna]]. Two years later they emigrated to Israel, and on the advice of [[Aharon Rokeach]] of [[Belz (Hasidic dynasty)|Belz]] and the [[Chazon Ish|Hazon Ish]] he settled in Rehovot. In 1966 he urged his followers to vote for the United Religious Block in the municipal elections.<ref name="Rabinowicz242" /><ref name="Rabinowicz243" /> Like his father, he played the violin on special occasions. He died on 15 Tammuz 1969 while visiting Sziget and was buried in Rehovot.<ref name="Rabinowicz244" /> Rabinowicz names the Rebbe of Kretchneff in Rehovot in his time as Menahem Eliezer Zeev Rosenbaum, born in Jerusalem in 1949, whose late father founded the Rehovot institutions; his younger brother, Yisrael Nisan, had been rebbe in [[Kiryat Gat]] before moving to [[São Paulo]]. Rabinowicz lists the Kirya's institutions as the Shaar Eliezer yeshiva, the Bene Moshe Talmud Torah, the Benot Esther girls' school (250 pupils) and the Bet David ''kollel'', and says more than 100 families lived there.<ref name="Rabinowicz241" /><ref name="Rabinowicz242" />

Notes

Nadvorna is a Hasidic dynasty that began in Eastern Galicia and is named after the town of Nadvorna. Israel National News says it had many followers in Hungary and Romania, that 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.[4]

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.[1] 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.[5][6]

History

Origins

According to Gal Einai, Mordechai Leifer was born on 19 Iyar 5584 (1824) to 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, Chust and Bushtyno. He died on the first day of Sukkot 5655 (1894) and was buried in Bushtyno.[7]

Tzvi Rabinowicz gives Mordechai's dates as 1823–1895. He describes him as an ascetic who prayed for hours on end, and says he was reputed to hold the Melaveh Malkah, the meal that ends the Sabbath, on Sunday morning, following the attitude to time of Yaakov Yitzchak of Peshischa and his disciples.[8][9]

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 (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.[10]

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 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 Kamenetz-Podolsk. The last representative of the dynasty in Chust, Aharon Moshe, survived the Holocaust in hiding and settled in Borough Park.[10]

The Rosenbaum rebbes in Israel

Tzvi Rabinowicz calls Itamar Rosenbaum the "grand seigneur" of the dynasty. He was born in Mihăileni, Romania, in 1886, and descended from Meir of Przemyslany, Tzvi Hirsch of Nadvorna and Mordechai of Nadvorna.[9] He married Malkah, a daughter of Asher Yeshayahu of Kolbuszowa, lived in Vienna and Marmaros during the First World War, and then settled in Czernowitz.[11] When the deportations from Czernowitz to Transnistria began in October 1941, he was among some 20,000 Jews left behind with permits declaring them useful to the economy, and he survived the war there. Unable to get British permission to settle in the Land of Israel, he settled in Washington Heights, New York. Rabinowicz says he disapproved of rebbes taking part in politics and deplored Yoel Teitelbaum's anti-Israel activities.[12] He later lived in Yad Eliyahu in Tel Aviv, in an apartment attached to his beit midrash, and died on 22 Sivan 1973. Rabinowicz says all his sons became rebbes in different places.[9][13]

Rabinowicz writes that Itamar's eldest son, Hayyim Mordechai, was born on 24 Iyar 1903. His mother, Malka, descended from Naftali of Ropczyce. In 1922 he married a daughter of Eliezer Zeev of Kretshneff and later settled in Seret. He visited the Holy Land in 1936, survived the Holocaust and came to Israel in 1948, living in Jerusalem near the Mandelbaum Gate before moving to Jaffa and then, in 1962, to Bnei Brak. His son Ezekiel died on 3 Kislev 1947 after being sent on the illegal immigrant ship Knesset Yisrael. He died on 15 Tevet 1978, was buried on the Mount of Olives next to his father, and left six sons, all of whom became rebbes.[14][9] Dei'ah veDibur dates his arrival in Israel to 1949 and the son's move to Bnei Brak to 1959–60 (see below).[15]

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 Siget and gives his mother's name as Sima Raizel. Dei'ah veDibur says he was born in Seret on 23 Nisan 5690 (1930) and names her as Leah.[16][15] During the Second World War he and his family were held at the Djorin camp in Transnistria. Before the rest of his family, he travelled to Israel on an illegal immigrant ship to study at the Dushinsky yeshiva in Jerusalem.[15]

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).[15] Israel National News says father and son came to Israel after the Second World War and led the group together.[4] 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.[16][15] Rabinowicz also gives 15 Tevet 1978.[9]

According to Rabinowicz, Yaakov Yissachar Ber came to Israel on his own in 1946, studied at the yeshiva of Yosef Tzvi Duszinsky, and in 1950 married a daughter of Moshe Hersch, the rabbi of Arad. Rabinowicz dates to 1952 the building he put up, with money from Meir Rosenthal of Frankfurt, on a 20-dunam site on Ezra and Hazon Ish streets in Bnei Brak. It housed the Maamar Mordecai yeshiva (250 students), the Tiferet Mordecai Talmud Torah (400 students), kollelim and a beit midrash that Rabinowicz calls the largest Hasidic synagogue in Bnei Brak. He describes the rebbe as non-political, with cordial relations with the Eda Haredit and the Aguda.[9]

Israel National News says the group grew significantly under their leadership, built many Torah institutions and has congregations in Hadera, Tzfat, Haifa, 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.[4]

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.[4] 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.[15][16]

Branches in about 2000

Tzvi Rabinowicz quotes a Hasidic saying, "There is no town without a rebbe of Nadvorna", and writes that sons, brothers and sons-in-law all became rebbes. He lists, as of about 2000:[14]

  • in Jerusalem: Tzvi Hirsch Rosenbaum of Kretchneff, Levi Yitzhak Leifer and Yehiel Leifer;
  • in Bnei Brak: Yitzhak Eizig of Zutzke, Nathan David Rosenbaum, Yaakov Yissachar Ber, Yosef Leifer and Meir, known as the Przemyslaner;
  • in Hadera: Asher Yeshayahu Rosenbaum; in Rehovot: Menahem Zeev Rosenbaum of Kretchneff; in Ashdod: Mordecai Issachar Ber Leifer of Pittsburg; in Safed: Aaron Yehiel Banya; in Kiryat Gat: Yisrael Nisan; and in Jaffa: Zeidel Rosenbaum, Rebbe of Bishkov;
  • in the United States: Yosef Meir in New York; Shalom Leifer in Brighton; Asher Mordecai of Strozhniz, Yosef of Kalush, Aaron Moshe of Huszt, Meir of Mosholov and Meshullam Zalman Leifer in Brooklyn; Meir Isaacson in Philadelphia; and Yitzhak Eizig Leifer of Cleveland-Raanana.

Rabinowicz names Nadvorna among the dynasties with internal friction, in which younger sons and brothers do not defer to a single chosen rebbe.[17]

Kretchnif in Rehovot

Tzvi Rabinowicz describes the Kretchnif (Kretshneff) court in Rehovot, an offshoot linked to Nadvorna by descent and marriage. Its rebbes' ancestor Eliezer of Kretshneff (Crăciunești, Romania) descended from Meir of Przemyslany and Mordechai Rosenbaum of Nadvorna.[18] His grandson David Moshe Rosenbaum, born in Kretshneff at the end of Yom Kippur 1922, survived several labour camps and Auschwitz. In 1948 in Sziget he married Esther Rachel, a daughter of Hayyim Mordecai of Nadvorna. Two years later they emigrated to Israel, and on the advice of Aharon Rokeach of Belz and the Hazon Ish he settled in Rehovot. In 1966 he urged his followers to vote for the United Religious Block in the municipal elections.[18][19] Like his father, he played the violin on special occasions. He died on 15 Tammuz 1969 while visiting Sziget and was buried in Rehovot.[20] Rabinowicz names the Rebbe of Kretchneff in Rehovot in his time as Menahem Eliezer Zeev Rosenbaum, born in Jerusalem in 1949, whose late father founded the Rehovot institutions; his younger brother, Yisrael Nisan, had been rebbe in Kiryat Gat before moving to São Paulo. Rabinowicz lists the Kirya's institutions as the Shaar Eliezer yeshiva, the Bene Moshe Talmud Torah, the Benot Esther girls' school (250 pupils) and the Bet David kollel, and says more than 100 families lived there.[21][18]

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 Ze'ev, as leader with the Bnei Brak institutions. It gave Meir Yitzchak Isaac the Jerusalem institutions, Asher Yishaiya those in Beitar and Yosef Naftoli those in Elad. It also said no new yeshivas should be opened for five years.[22] Matzav.com lists these four sons as heads of rabbinical courts in those places, along with three more sons and three sons-in-law.[16]

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.[1]

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, 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".[23] 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.[5][6] 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 institutions in Elad, and the strategist Yekusiel Yehuda Ganzel.[5][6]

Two of these associations, Talmud Torah Nadvorna Beitar and Kehala Kadisha Nadvorna, are registered in the West Bank settlement of Beitar Illit.[2] The Applied Research Institute – Jerusalem (ARIJ) says Beitar Illit was set up in 1985 on Palestinian-owned land from Husan (3,430 dunums), Nahhalin (688 dunums) and Wadi Fukin (567 dunums).[26] In its advisory opinion of 19 July 2024 the International Court of Justice found that Israel's transfer of settlers to the West Bank and East Jerusalem, and its maintenance of their presence there, is contrary to the sixth paragraph of article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.[27]
