Rebbe Yosef Zvi Dushinsky is visiting Melbourne. I assume that the Rebbe travelled to Australia in order to collect donations for his group and Mosdot (institutes).
Chassidut Dushinsky is rather unknown outside the chassidic world. Dushinsky is one of the very few chassidic groups being called after their founder's family name. Furthermore, Dushinsky is extremely anti - Zionist, a member of the Edah HaCharedit and their headquarter is located in Jerusalem; in Shmuel HaNavi Street.

Do you know which other chassidic groups are called after the Rebbe's name?

ReplyDeleteSo far, two groups are coming into my mind now after participaing until late at the "Laila Lavan" event in Tel Aviv last night and thus, only having slept for four hours:
1. The "Toldot Aharon" named after their founder Rebbe Aharon (Arele) Roth (Ratha).
2. The Toldot Aharon split - off, the "Toldot Avraham Yitzchak" named after the father Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak Kahn.
Rebbe Avraham Yitzchak used to be the Toldot Aharon Rebbe until he passed away and his younger son, Rebbe David Kahn (the present TA Rebbe) took over.
His older son, Rebbe Shmuel Yaakov Kahn, founded the Toldot Avraham Yitzchak.
