Polish Hasidic dynasty
Lelov (
Yiddish : לעֶלוֹב ) is a Polish-Israeli
Hasidic
dynastic court, which traces its origins to the town of
Lelów ,
Poland where the court was established in 1815 by Rabbi
Dovid Biderman (1746-1814).
The Lelover dynasty migrated from Poland to
Jerusalem when Biderman's son, Rabbi
Moshe Biderman (1776-1851), the son-in-law of Rabbi
Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz , moved there in the last year of his life. In the 21st century several descendants of the dynasty are Lelover
rebbes , in
Bnei Brak ,
Jerusalem ,
Beit Shemesh and
Brooklyn .
