The Belzer Hasidim are a
Hasid
ic sect named after the
Galician
town of
Belz
. Its founder was the 19th century
Rabbi Sholom Rokeach
. The sect was originally founded as a Hasidus and not an official congregation (the distinction is very very subtle) so that its Rabbi provided more spiritual and less political guidance.
Belzer Rebbis were often known for
miracle
working. Leadership of the Belzer Hasidim is inherited, instead of being passed on by one Rebbi to his most promising
pupil
. The current Belzer Rebbi is
Rabbi Dov Rokeach
. The Belzer Hasidic community is currently concentrated in
Bnei Brak
, Israel, where it relocated to during and after the
Holocaust
. There is a Belz'e neighborhood, "
Kiryat Belz'e
", in
Jerusalem
as well, and one in
Montreal
, Canada.
In the early 80's, Rabbi Rokeach established a policy of instructing his followers to
vote
for members of the
Israeli Knesset
. This led to a deep and angry rift between the Belzers and the
Satmar Hasidim
, who believe that the Jewish state in Israel should be afforded no such legitimacy.
