The Nikolsburger Rebbe of Monsey
Nikolsburg is the name of a Hasidic dynasty, named for the Rebbe (Hasidic leader) Shmelke of Nikolsburg (Mikulov).
There currently exist three distinct branches of the Nikolsburg dynasty:
- Nikolsburg of Monsey, based in Monsey, New York, led by its Rebbe, Rabbi Yosef Yechiel Mechel Lebovits of Monsey, New York, a descendant of Rebbe Shmelke of Nikolsburg, for whom the dynasty and associated Hasidic community are named,
- Nikolsburg of Woodbourne, led by Rabbi Mordechai Jungreis of the B'nai Israel Synagogue in Woodbourne, New York,
- Lelov-Nikolsburg, led by Rabbi Pinchas Yitzchak Biderman of Jerusalem, a branch of the Lelov Hasidic dynasty.
The largest of these is that of Monsey.
The term Nikolsburger Rebbe can refer either to the historic Rebbe Shmelke of Nikolsburg, or to the leader of any of the three current Nikolsburg dynasties above.
