The Kosov Hasidic dynasty, Rabbi Mendel of Kosov's descendants, founded the many Kosov Hasidic sects. The
Vizhnitz dynasty is the best known branch of the original Kosover dynasty. Other branches include
Seret.
Among the many contemporary descendants of the Kosov dynasty, two are called "the Kosover Rebbe": Rabbi
Shraga Feivish Hager of
Borough Park, Brooklyn, where he has a substantial following and presides at his
tish, and Rabbi Menachem Monderer of
Jerusalem (died 2013).[1] There is also a historic Kosover synagogue in Tzfas (
Safed), Israel, which, however, is run by followers of the
Biala Rebbe of Lugano, Switzerland.
