גור

Ger is the Chassidic dynasty founded by the Chiddushei HaRim, who led the Kotzk Chassidim after the Kotzker Rebbe's passing in 1859. It grew from the Peshischa-Kotzk line and has passed through his descendants, with a short interim under Reb Chanoch Henoch of Alexander, down to the present Rebbe.
