Sanz-Klausenburg Today
- Grand Rabbi Tzvi Elimelech Halberstam is the Sanz-Klausenburger Rebbe in Kiryat Sanz, Netanya, Israel
- Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Boruch Halberstam, son of Rabbi Zvi Elimelech, is Rav haTso'ir
- Grand Rabbi Shmuel Dovid Halberstam, is the Sanz-Klausenbeger Rebbe in Borough Park, Brooklyn, USA
The late Rebbe's sons-in-law are:
- Grand Rabbi Shlomo Goldman, the Zhviller Rebbe, of Union City, NJ and Rov of the Sanz-Klausenburg community in Union City, N.J.
- Rabbi Berel Weiss, of Kiryat Sanz neighborhood of Jerusalem
- Rabbi Fishel Mutzen, Rav of Kiryat Baal Shem Tov in Petah Tikva
- Rabbi Shaul Yehuda Prizant, Dayan of the Sanz-Klausenburg community in Union City, New Jersey; and rosh mesivta Yeshivat Shaar Efraim Monsey
- Rabbi Eliezer Duvid Shapiro, Rav of the Sanz community in Bnei Brak
In contrast to the custom among many Rebbes, the Klausenburger Rebbe did not take sons-in-law exclusively from rabbinic families; rather, he chose the best students of his yeshiva to marry his daughters. The only exception was Rabbi Shlomo Goldman, an accomplished Torah scholar even in his youth, who is the son of the previous Zhviller Rebbe in Israel.
Other figures in Sanz-Klausenburg are:
- Rabbi Fishel Hershkowitz, the Holeiner Rov, is the Sanz-Klausenburger dayan in Williamsburg
