Radziner Rebbe

Englard (by his first marriage) was the son-in-law of Tiferes Yosef and brother-in-law of Grand Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner of Radzin.[1] After the Holocaust he was crowned as successor of the Izhbitza-Radziner Dynasty in Eretz Yisroel[2] by most of the descendants of the Izhbitza-Radzin family, and by Radziner Hasidim in Eretz Yisroel and worldwide.[3] [Radziner Chasidim did so in accordance with the final parting words of the previous rebbe, Grand Rabbi Shmuel Shlomo Leiner of Radzin, before he was killed al Kiddush Hashem]. Under his leadership, the Izhbitzer-Radziner Dynasty rebuilt itself, with the Center of Radziner Institutions being established in Bnei Brak. The Rebbe also established Radziner Shuls (known as Shtieblech) in many cities where Radziner Hassidim were concentrated. This includes Jerusalem, Haifa, Netanya, Tel Aviv, Holon and Petah Tikva. The Rebbe also established the Radziner Yeshiva Sod Y'sharim in Jerusalem, the Radziner Yeshiva Ateres Shlomo in Bnei Brak, the Radziner Yeshiva Tiferes Yosef in Bnei Brak, with many Kollelim located in Jerusalem, Bnei Brak, and Haifa.
