Tosh (Hasidic dynasty)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Tosh is a Hassidic Dynasty originating in Nyirtass, Hungary. Today the sect is based in Kiryas Tosh, Quebec, Canada, outside of Boisbriand, a suburb of Montreal. In the United States, Tosher Hasidim have synagogues in Boro Park, Williamsburg, Brooklyn, Kiryas Joel, and Monsey.
The Tosher Rebbe has just recently married after being widowed.
Many of the current Tosher Rebbe's talks have been written down in a a series of five books entitled "Avodas Avodah."
- Two of them are Hebrew language books that explain the weekly Torah portions, and Jewish holidays with practical insights into divine service which are subtitled: Dibros Kodesh.
- Two of them are Yiddish language books that explain the weekly Torah portions, and the Jewish holidays with practical insights into divine service which are entitled: Imros Kodesh.
- Another is mostly in Hebrew, but has Yiddish segments. It is a compilation of addresses that the Tosher Rebbe has made regarding the Yartzheit (day of passing) of a large number of Jewish holy men, arranged according to the Jewish calendar. It is subtitled Sichos Kodesh.
