[edit] Use (Hasidic dynasty) to standardize naming of groups
In order to maintain a standard naming format for all these Hasidic groups, add (Hasidic dynasty) to each name so that it will be clear what the subject is. For example: "Nadvorna" is now Nadvorna (Hasidic dynasty), "Belz" is Belz (Hasidic dynasty) etc. IZAK 08:34, 18 Feb 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New project
I'm undertaking to begin a stub for each of the Chasidic dynasties, any input from others would be greatly appreciated. Atheistrabbi 4 July 2005 19:21 (UTC)
[edit] Definition
Why does this article not explain what is meant by a "Hasidic dynasty"? - Nat Krause 05:29, 16 September 2005 (UTC)

- Yes - I know the Pittsburger Rebbe personally - however I have never heard of the Philadelphia dynasty Itzik18 17:23, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pishkivitcha
This has just been added (in the wriong place). Has anyone heard of such a dynasty? Redaktor 09:28, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Change of Toldos Aharon to Shomer Emunim
I changed the name Toldos Aharon to Shomer Emunim in the larger dynasties list. I did so because that change accurately reflects the fact that TA is an offshoot of the Chassidus started by R' Aharon Roth, Admur M'Shomer Emunim ztzl. In sheer numbers, Toldos Aharon is the largest group of Chassidim that trace themselves to R' Aharon. However, it would be unrealistic to give the name "Shomer Emunim" a place only secondary to the more modern name "Toldos Aharon."
Furthermore, the article that was previously called Toldos Aharon really covered all three groups, Shomer Emunim, Toldos Aharon, and Toldos Avraham Yitzchak.

[edit] List of Hasidic dynasties (comment)
Satmar (from Satu Mare, Romania) Hasidic group has only 120,000 followers. Why in the "Dominant Hasidic groups (arranged by estimated size)" it’s listed first? Chabad Lubavitch (from Liubavichy, Belarus) group has 200,000 followers, so Ger ((from Góra Kalwaria, Poland) group has 200,000 followers as well.

Chabad Lubavitch (from Liubavichy, Belarus) group has about 200,000 followers. Ger (from Góra Kalwaria, Poland) group has about 200,000 followers as well. Satmar (from Satu Mare, Romania) group has only 120,000 followers. Why then in the "Dominant Hasidic groups (arranged by estimated size)" Satmar (from Satu Mare, Romania) Hasidic group is listed first?

- These figues are nonsense. They do not have these numbers. Drop one zero from each group and you have the truer number! IZAK 07:30, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Dushinsky
I wonder if Dushinsky really belongs among the major Hasidic dynasties. As far as I know, they're quite a small group. Are they really much larger than Boyan, Sadigura, Modzitz, Nadvorna, Tolna, and dozens of others, all of which are listed as minor? Can anyone provide an estimated number of Dushinsky chasidim? --Kotzker 00:04, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
