This article discusses the Sanz-Klausenburger dynasty that began with Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam and was divided into two movements in Israel and America. For information on the original Sanz dynasty founded by Rabbi Chaim of Sanz, see Sanz (Hasidic dynasty)
Klausenburg , also known as Sanz-Klausenburg, is a Hasidic dynasty that originated in the Transylvanian city of Cluj-Napoca (formerly Klausenburg), Romania.
At the behest of Rabbi Yekusiel Yehudah Halberstam, Klausenburger Rebbe from 1927–1994, the movement was split into two separate movements after his death, headed by his two sons. The Sanz-Klausenburger Hasidim are located in Borough Park, New York, while the Sanzer Hasidim are based in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, Israel. There are also modest followings in Jerusalem, Stamford Hill, Antwerp and Union City, New Jersey.
