Sulitza (Yiddish: סוליצא, also spelled Sulitz, Solitza or Solitz) is a Hasidic dynasty originating in Sulitza (Sulița), Romania.
The present Rebbe of Sulitza is Rabbi Yaakov Yisroel VeYeshurin Rubin.
[1][2] Sulitza is one of many offshoots of the Ropshitz Hasidic dynasty that were re-established in New York City and Brooklyn after World War II by surviving descendants of Grand Rabbi Naftali Tzvi Horowitz, the first Ropshitzer Rebbe; others include Beitsh, Dolina, Dombrov, Dzhikov, Melitz, Sasregen, Shotz, Strizhov, Stutchin, and Tseshenov.
[3] The previous Sulitzer Rebbe died on June 18, 2013,[1][2] and was the son of Rabbi Jacob Israel Jeshurun Rubin (1885–1944),[4] av beis din (head of the rabbinical court) of Sulitza and Sasregen, Romania,[5] who was murdered in the Auschwitz concentration camp,[6] and Alte Nechama Malka Dachner, daughter of Rabbi Chaim Dachner of Seret, who was also murdered in the Holocaust.
He was the son-in-law of Grand Rabbi Yissachar Ber Rosenbaum of Stroznitz (died 1980).
