- Congregation Arugas Habosem
-
Arugas HaBosem of Bridda is the name of a synagogue in Baltimore, Maryland. For over 50 years, its rabbi was Grand Rabbi Amram Taub, a scion of the Puppa Hasidic dynasty.
Taub lost 30 family members, including his first wife and five children, in the Holocaust. In the 1950s the Satmar Rebbe Joel Teitelbaum sent him to Baltimore where he established this synagogue.
Taub gained a reputation for showing a genuine love of people and an interest in improving their lives, for making peace between people, and for his joy in life and the opportunities it afforded for doing God's will. He married six times, the last time in 1993.
He died on 14 July 2007, and was buried in Kiryas Joel, New York, next to Teitelbaum. He was succeeded as Bridder Rebbe by his son, Shaya Taub, and as rabbi of the synagogue by his nephew, Aron Tzvi Taub.
