Pinsk (Hasidic dynasty)

=Pinsk-Karlin=

A distinguished group of the elders of Karlin did not accept the present Karlin-Stolin Rebbe, who was a baby when the previous rebbe died. Moreover, they asked the Lelover Rebbe to be their new rebbe. After the second generation the Lelover Rebbe did not want to intervene in politics, and refused to accept them as Rebbe. They appointed Rabbi Aharon Rosenfeld, a Stoliner Chassid himself, as their rebbe. To distinguish themselves from the Karlin-Stoliner chasidim, they call themselves the Pinsk-Karlin.

* Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Biderman of Lelov (1903-1987), was accepted by many Karliner chasidim as a new rebbe after the passing of Rabbi Yochanan of Karlin-Stolin
**Rabbi Shimon Biderman of Lelov, son of Rabbi Moshe. In 1991, he stepped down from the Karliner leadership, and is presently known as Lelover Rebbe of Bnei Brak
***Rebbe Aharon Hacohen Rosenfeld of Pinsk karlin (1927-2001) - descendant of Rebbe Aaron of Karlin, appointed as Manhig- leader of Pinsk karlin in 1991, as a successor of Rabbi Shimon of Lelov who dropped the Karliner Chasidim after he suffered a stroke.
