Founded by Rabbi Menachem Mendel Hager in the 1850s, the Vizhnitz
hasidim take their name from the Yiddish
pronunciation of Vyzhnytsia, a town in present-day Ukraine. Today, there
are Viznitz communities in various cities in Israel such as Jerusalem, Bnei Brak,
and Beit Shemesh and throughout the world mainly in cities such as New York, London and
Montreal.
