Aharon Roth or Aaron Rote (Hebrew: אהרן ראטה) known as Reb Arele[1] (1894−1947[2]), was a Hungarian Hasidic rebbe and Talmudic scholar.

Until the age of 20, he studied Talmud in Vác under Yeshayahu Silberstein, a Hungarian scholar, and then with Hasidic rabbis from Galicia, who had fled to Hungary during World War I, including Yissachar Dov Rokeach of Belz and Tzvi Elimelech Spira of Błażowa.

In 1936 he went to Berehovo (Beregszász) in Czechoslovakia, after the conflict between him and the followers of Satmar's Hasidic rabbi Joel Teitelbaum had escalated to open physical violence.

[6] In Roth’s book Taharas HaKodesh, published in 1930 he predicted a big catastrophe happening in the near future due to immodest dress and not protecting the covenant.

[4] Rejecting all compromise with modern views and ways of life, he called for repentance, demanded complete adherence to simple faith and ecstatic mode of praying, and expected his Hasidim to support themselves by their own labor.
