Sadigura is a Hasidic dynasty named for the city of Sadhora (Sadigura in Yiddish), Bukovina, which was part of the Austrian Empire.[1] The dynasty began in 1850 with Rabbi Avrohom Yaakov Friedman, a son of Rabbi Yisrael Friedman of Ruzhyn, and was based in Sadigura until 1914. During the interwar period the dynasty was led by rebbes (ruling hereditary dynastic rabbis) in Vienna and Przemyśl, Poland, and just before World War II moved to Israel.
Sadigura is one of the branches of the Ruzhiner dynasty, together with Bohush, Boyan, Chortkov, Husiatyn, and Shtefanesht.
As of 2013, Sadigura had several hundred members in Israel, the United States and Europe. Its members reside in Israel in Jerusalem, Ashdod, Modiin Ilit, Beitar Ilit, and Elad; in North America, Los Angeles and New York City, and in Europe in London and Antwerp.[2]
The 6th rebbe, Yisrael Moshe Friedman died in Bnei Brak on 11 August 2020 aged 64. He was succeeded by his son, Avrohom Yehosua Heshel Friedman.
