Vien (Hasidic community)

Vien is an American Haredi Kehilla (community) originating in present-day Vienna. The name of their congregation is "Kehal Adas Yereim Vien" (translation: Congregation of the Reverent, Vienna).

Kehal Adas Yereim Vien was formally established on Sunday, May 25, 1941 by Klonumos Karl Richter. It traces its origins from a congregation of devout Oberlander non- hasidic Jews who had moved from Burgenland, Austria (primarily from the "Sheva Kehillos"), Slovakia and Hungary ('The Oberland') to Vienna (headquartering itself in the renowned Schiffschul) and then on to Williamsburg under the leadership of Rabbi Yonasan Steif.
