Bohush (Hasidic dynasty)

Bohush is a Hasidic dynasty named for the town of Buhuși, Romania. The dynasty began in the mid-nineteenth century with Rabbi Yitzchok Friedman, the eldest grandson of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhyn, and was based in that town until 1951, when his great-grandson, Rabbi Yitzchok Friedman of Bohush-Tel Aviv, moved the dynasty to Tel Aviv.^[1] In 1987 the Bohush beis medrash was transferred to Bnei Brak,^[2] where the dynasty is led today by Rabbi Yaakov Mendel Friedman, a great-great-grandson of the first Bohusher Rebbe.^[3][4]

Bohush is one of the branches of the Ruzhiner dynasty, together with Boyan, Chortkov, Husiatyn, Sadigura, and Shtefanesht.
