Shaul Alter (born July 6, 1957) is the founder and current leader of Kehilas Pnei Menachem (an offshoot from the Ger Hasidic dynasty).

Following an "ostracism" signed by the leaders of the dynasty in Israel in June 2019 against Mr. Dovid Berliner the former Administrator of Camp Ger in the United States[3](in a case[4] known [by whom?]

as the Camp Ger dispute), in which the majority [citation needed] (including some of the leaders[citation needed]) of the community in the United States didn't partake and even disobeyed it, he wrote a letter of criticism against the establishment in support of Berliner,[5] beginning his formal separation from the established leadership of the Ger Hassidim led by the Gerrer Rebbe.

[8] Immediately afterward, Alter's men announced a split and the establishment of a separate community and institutions, including Yeshivas Pnei Menachem.

[14] Throughout his visit he met with leaders of other Hasidic groups[15] and delivered numerous shiurim across the NY/NJ metro area[16] which were attended by thousands of participants.
