| Has Abstract | Established by members of the Friedman family and consisting of several dozen rebbes (admorim), the Ruzhin (Yid., more properly Rizhin) Hasidic dynasty originated in the town of that name in Kiev province, Russia. It continued to flourish in Sadagora (Sadegere; in Austrian Bukowina) and had many offshoots in Galicia and Romania. In the 1870s, this branch of Hasidism and its unique approach to the religious life were the subject of a fierce controversy because of a ban pronounced on it by Ḥayim Halberstam of Sandz (Nowy Sącz) in 1869. The loyalty of thousands of Ruzhin Hasidim to their leaders was unaffected, however, and the ban’s purpose was not achieved. | yivo |
