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.
