Munkacs Today
After the Holocaust, the Munkatch dynasty and community was re-established in the United States in Brooklyn, New York and developed a close affinity with the Satmar hasidim, who also originated from North-Eastern Hungary (namely Szatmár county, hence the name of the dynasty). Currently, the Munkacs dynasty is led by the son of Rabbi Baruch, Grand Rebbe Moshe Leib Rabinovich.
The sect's main Brooklyn synagogue, which also serves as world headquarters for Munkacs hasidim, is located in the Boro Park section of Brooklyn. The hasidic group also boasts a plethorum of educational and charitable institutions across the United States, Canada, England, Israel, and Australia.

Famous quotes containing the word today:
“Hear, O Israel: The LORD is our God, the LORD alone; You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might. Keep these words that I am commanding you today in your heart. Recite them to your children and talk about them when you are at home and when you are away, when you lie down and when you rise. Bind them as a sign on your hand, fix them as an emblem on your forehead, and write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.”
—Bible: Hebrew, Deuteronomy 6:4-9.
