Strelisk and Stretin
סטרליסק וסטרטין
The line begins with Reb Uri of Strelisk, the Seraph, a talmid of Reb Shlomo of Karlin whose path stressed burning tefillah and a life of simple poverty. After Reb Uri and then his son Reb Shlomo passed away in 1826-27, his foremost talmid Reb Yehuda Tzvi Brandwein led the chassidim from Stretin. Through his sons and sons-in-law, the Brandwein and Langner families, the court split into many Galician branches that later reached North America and Eretz Yisroel.
