Chassidic dynasty

Strikov

סטריקוב

The Landau family traces back to Rebbe Avrohom of Tchechanov, a great posek who took on the role of Rebbe only late in life; his eldest son Reb Zev Wolf held court in Strikov. The Strikov Chassidus of today comes from another son, Reb Dov Berish of Biala, through his sons Reb Aharon Tzvi and Reb Elimelech Menachem Mendel, and continues the Vorka and Alexander path. After the Holocaust it was rebuilt in Eretz Yisroel, and it now has courts in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem.
