Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe forced to the outskirts of Williamsburg

By CHAIM SOLOVEITCHIK, HasidicNews.com Writer

WILLIAMSBURG, BROOKLYN (HN) - The Toldos Avaraham Yitzchak Rebbe was forced to settle for a rental in the outskirts of Williamsburg for the reunification Shabas ceremonies. No one in Williamsburg was willing to rent to him out of alliance with the Zalmen team or out of fear of retaliation from Zalmen's men.

Toldos Avraham Yitzchak, along with its leader, the Rebbe, allied itself with Aharon when the Zalmen/Aharon fight broke out. He is therefore rejected by predominantly Zalmen Williamsburg. The Toldos Avraham Yitzchak Rebbe's brother, the Toldos Aharon Rebbe, is allied with the Zalmen team. The two brothers are bitter foes, ever since their father -the former Toldos Aharon Rebbe- passed away.
