Talk:Koidanov (Hasidic dynasty)

Lithuanian Dynasties
"Koidanov was the smallest of the three Lithuanian Hasidic dynasties, the others being Slonim and Karlin-Stolin." What about Amdur? Or Chabad, for cryin' out loud? I'm sure there are others too. I think this sentence should be deleted. Bws2002 (talk) 15:45, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
 * 1. Amdur (today known as Indura) is in Belarus and Lubavich (Lyubavichi) is in Russia. Neither is in Lithuania. 2. You may agree or disagree with the YIVO Encyclopedia. This article is merely saying that this is so "according to" the YIVO Encyclopedia. But thanks for bringing up Amdur. I think I'll add it to List of Hasidic dynasties and to Template:Hasidic dynasties when I'll have a chance. -- -- -- 11:00, 22 August 2013 (UTC)
 * That's a good point that it's simply ascribing that assertion to the encyclopedia; I suppose that justifies keeping it as is. And you're right too that neither Amdur nor Lubavich is in Lithuania. But Slonim, Karlin, Stolin, and, yes, Koidanov(a)/Dzyarzhynsk are also all in Belarus, which is "Lithuanian" in Jewish cultural geography, as is the tiny bit of Russia next to Belarus where Lyubavichi is, plus eastern Belarus and northeastern Ukraine, where Chabad flourished.
