Lelov

Lelov (לעֶלוֹב) is a Polish-Israeli Hasidic dynastic court, which traces its origins to the town of Lelów, Poland where the court was established in 1815 by Rabbi Dovid Biderman (1746-1814).

The Lelover dynasty migrated from Poland to Jerusalem when Biderman's son, Rabbi Moshe Biderman (1776-1851), the son-in-law of Rabbi Yaakov Yitzchak Rabinowicz, moved there in the last year of his life. In the 21st century several descendants of the dynasty are Lelover rebbes, in Bnei Brak, Jerusalem, Beit Shemesh and Brooklyn.

History
Dovid Biderman of Lelov was a disciple of the Yaakov Yitzchak, known as the Seer of Lublin.

The early Lelover rebbes (starting with Dovid Tzvi Shlomo) were followers of the Karlin (Hasidic dynasty).
