Kosov (Hasidic dynasty) Totally Explained

Everything about Kosov Hasidic Dynasty totally explained

Kosov is a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rabbi Menachem Mendl Hager of Kosov, a town in Galicia. The present rebbe is Grand Rabbi Shraga Hager, who lives in the Borough Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, where most of his Hasidim also live. There is also a Kosover synagogue in Tzfas (Safed), E. Israel which, however, is run by followers of the Biala Rebbe of Lugano, Switzerland.
The main Kosover synagogue is on 52nd St. and 11th Ave. The Kosover tish Hall is in the basement of the Satmar school in Boro Park.
The Vizhnitz dynasty is a branch of the old Kosover dynasty, but the present Kosover Rebbe is himself a scion of the Vizhnitz Dynasty.
