The Stanislav hasidic dynasty was established in western Ukraine in a town now known as Ivano-Frankivsk.
Arriving in London after surviving the Holocaust, Rabbi Meshulem Yisosschor Ashkenazi, born in 1905, became known as the Stanislav-Alesker Rebbe.
After his death on 6 November 1994,[1] his son, Rabbi Uri Ashkenazi, became the Stanislaver Rebbe of London.
He was a well-known mohel and had a Beth midrash in Stamford Hill at 93 Lordship Park, London.
The previous Stanislover Rebbe of Monsey was Rabbi Yisroel Rosenbaum, (1931–2009), a scion of the Nadvorna dynasty.
