Siget (Hasidic dynasty)
Siget or Ujhel-Siget or Sighet Hasidism or Sigter Hasidim is a movement of Hungarian Haredi Jews who adhere to Hasidism, and who are referred to as Sigeter Hasidim.
Sighet Hasidism originated in the town of Siget (now Sighetu Marmaţiei, Romania), at that time in the Kingdom of Hungary. Siget is the parent dynasty of the more famous Satmar hasidic dynasty. Since 1980 the leadership of Siget and Satmar have been united in the person of the Admor of Satmar, though the two groups continue to operate separate synagogues and retain differences in certain customs.
