Shaul Shimon Deutsch

Shaul Shimon Deutsch (born 1966)[1] is a rabbi and author from Brooklyn, New York.[2] Originally associated with the Chabad Hasidic community, during the mid-1990s, Deutsch attempted to form a breakaway sect and named himself the Liozna Rebbe.[3][4] The attempt did not gain popular support[2] and remains a marginal phenomenon in the Chabad Hasidic community.[1]

Following his attempt to establish a Hasidic following, Deutsch opened and operated the Living Torah Museum in Boro Park, Brooklyn.[5] Deutsch also runs a food charity called Oneg Shabbos.[6]
