Tetsh (Hasidic dynasty)


The Tetsh Hasidic dynasty is a branch of the Ujhel-Siget Hasidic dynasty founded by Rabbi Moshe Teitelbaum, Rabbi of Sátoraljaújhely in Hungary, who was a disciple of the Polish Hasidic leader Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak of Lublin.
Rabbi Chananya Yom Tov Lipa Teitelbaum, a great-grandson of the founder of the Siget dynasty, was also the Rabbi in the town of Tetsh.
After assuming his father Rabbi Zalman Leib Teitelbaum's position in Siget, and continuing the main branch of the Siget dynasty, his brother, Rabbi Elya Betzalel Teitelbaum, formerly rabbi of Polien-Ruskova, became the rabbi of Tetsh.
Rabbi Chaim Teitelbaum, Rabbi Elya Betzalel's son, succeeded him as Rebbe there until his death in the Holocaust.
