History


Lineage of the Izhbitza-Radzin dynasty


First generation

The Izhbitzer-Radziner dynasty was established on Succos 5600 (1839) by Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Leiner, author of the ''"Mei Hashiloach"''. He was a close disciple of Rabbi
Simcha Bunim of Peshischa Simcha Bunim Bonhardt of Peshischa (, ; – 4 September 1827) also known as the Rebbe Reb Bunim was the second Grand Rabbi of Peshischa ( Przysucha, Poland) as well as one of the key leaders of Hasidic Judaism in Poland. The main disciple of ...
. After Simcha Bunim's death, Mordechai Yosef joined the court of his long-time childhood friend, Rabbi
Menachem Mendel of Kotzk Menachem Mendel Morgensztern of Kotzk (Kock, Poland), better known as the Kotzker Rebbe and the Kotzker (1787–1859) was a Hasidic rabbi and leader. Life Born to a non- Hasidic family in Goraj near Lublin, Poland, he became attracted to Has ...
, who appointed him to guide the young chassidim who joined Kotzk. When the Kotzker Rebbe began distancing himself from his chassidim, Mordechai Yosef felt it was time for him to begin leading those who were in need of a Rebbe. He left Kotzk, settling in Izhbitza, being known hence as the "Izhbitzer Rebbe". He died 7 Teves 5614 (1854), and was buried in Izhbitza. A number of years after his death a small part of his ideas were put to writing by his grandson, Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner of Radzin.


Second generation

After the death of the ''Mei Hashiloach'', most of his followers appointed his eldest son, Rabbi Yaakov Leiner, author of ''"Beis Yaakov"'' and ''"Sefer Hazemanim"'', as Izhbitzer Rebbe (although some went with Rabbi Yehuda Leib Eiger and Rabbi Zadok HaKohen Rabbinowitz, disciples of the late Rebbe, to create the Lublin Hasidim). He expanded vastly the Torah of his father, and constantly spoke Torah to his chassidim. During his days the numbers of Izhbitzer Chassidim grew vastly, as he was much more accommodating for newcomers. Many of his thoughts were later published in Beis Yaakov, by his son and successor, Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner of Radzin. The Beis Yaakov died 15 Av 5638 (1878) in Druzgenik,

, and was buried in the nearby village of Rotnica, Lithuania.


Third generation

After the death of the ''Beis Yaakov'', his followers appointed his eldest son, Rabbi Gershon Henoch Leiner, author of ''"Orchos Chayim"'' (on the Tzava'ah - the will - of the Tana Rabbi Eliezer HaGadol) as his successor. He was the first rebbe in the dynasty known as "The Radziner Rebbe". Rav Gershon Henoch was a student of his grandfather and father. The Rebbe is referred to by Radziner Chasidim as the ''"Orchos Chayim"'', based on his above-mentioned work. (When the Rebbe published this work, he commented to his brother that he's happy that he got to print his Tzava'ah.) In the larger world, the Rebbe is better known as the ''Ba'al HaTecheiles''. He led his followers with a more extreme leadership, similar to that of his grandfather, differing from his father's style. The Orchos Chaim died 4 Teves 5651 (1890), and was buried in Radzin.


Fourth generation

After the death of the ''Orchos Chaim'', his followers appointed his only son, Rabbi Mordechai Yosef Elazar Leiner, the "''Tiferes Yosef''", as Radziner Rebbe. The Tiferes Yosef led his followers with a very calm leadership. Thus in his days Radziner Chassidim numbered in the thousands. He was very instrumental in the establishment of

5689 (1929), and was buried in Warsaw.


Fifth generation

After the death of the ''Tiferes Yosef'', his followers appointed his only son, Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner, as Radzyner Rebbe. At first, the Rebbe refused to take over his father's position. Only due to the enormous pressure put on him by the thousands of Radziner Chassidim, did he finally consent. The final push was the pressure put on him by his great-uncle, Rav Mottel Leiner, son of the Beis Yaakov, and Rav Michel Rashes of Brisk, one of the most prominent Radziner Chassidim. The Rebbe led his followers with a very sharp and extreme leadership, similar to that of his grandfather, the Orchos Chaim. This caused many chassidim to have to leave Radzin. The Rebbe went as far as to close various shteiblach, which he believed were not appropriate of being called Radziner Shtieblech. His greatest strength of character was brought to light during the years of

Radzin post-Holocaust

After the Holocaust, the surviving Izhbitzer-Radziner Chassidim crowned Rabbi Avrohom Yissochor Englard (1905–2005), son-in-law of the ''Tiferes Yosef'', as Radziner Rebbe. The Rebbe was also the great-grandson of the second Radomsker Rebbe, Rabbi

Due to his countless efforts, the establishment of the "Center for the Dyeing of the Techeiles" was completed in Bnei Brak.

Additional Branch of Radzin

In the third generation, after the death of the ''Orchos Chaim'', his younger brother, Rabbi Avraham Yehoshua Heshel Leiner, became Rebbe in the city of Chelm. He was one of the top students of his older brother, the Orchos Chaim. After his death on 27 Shevat 5680 (1920), two of his sons became Rebbe in Chelm, Rabbi Gedalya and Rabbi Ovadya. A number of years later, his son, Rabbi Yeruchem Leiner, became Radziner Rebbe in Cricklewood,

Biskivitz-Reivitz branch

In the second generation, after the death of the ''Beis Yaakov'', his younger brother, Rabbi Shmuel Dov Asher Leiner, became Rebbe to a small and select group. At first he remained in Izhbitza, moving shortly after to the city of Biskivitz. The Biskivitzer Rebbe's ideas were printed in ''"Naos Deshe"''. He died Acharaon Shel Pesach, 22
