Kuzmir (Hasidic dynasty)

Kuzmir is a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rebbe Yechezkel Taub (1772–1856), a disciple of Yaakov Yitzchak (the Seer of Lublin), Yisroel Hopstein (the Kozhnitser Magid) and Shmuel of Karov.

Kuzmir is the Yiddish name of Kazimierz Dolny, a town in present-day Poland.

[5] Taub was a student of the Chozeh of Lublin[4] and the Kohznitzer Maggid[4] and he established yeshivas and a type of Hasidic teaching that was similar to that of his rebbes.

[9] The Yabloner Chasidus was started by a grandson of the first Kuzmirer Rebbe, Rabbi Yechezkel, and continued for three generations.

He returned to Orthodox Judaism and to his role as Rebbe at Kfar Hasidim in the last few years of his life.
