Karlin-Stolin (Hasidic dynasty)
Karlin-Stolin is a Hasidic dynasty, originating with Rebbe Aaron ben Jacob of Karlin in present-day Belarus. One of the first centres of Hasidim to be set up in Lithuania, many Lithuanian Hasidic groups are its offshoots. After the murder of many of its followers by Nazi Germany in the Holocaust, the dynasty continued to exist with followers in Israel, the United States, Russia, England, Mexico, and Ukraine. Karlin-Stolin Hasidim established themselves in Eretz Yisrael (the land of Israel) in the mid-19th century, settling in Tiberias, Hebron, and Safed. In 1869 they took over the site of a former synagogue in Tiberias which had been built in 1786 by Rabbi Menachem Mendel of Vitebsk, but was destroyed in the Galilee earthquake of 1837. Construction of the new synagogue started in 1870. It was during this time that Karlin-Stolin Hasidim settled in Jerusalem. By 1874, they had established the Beis Aharon Synagogue of Karlin-Stolin in the old city. The Karlin-Stoliner rebbe (sometimes referred to as the "Stoliner Rebbe"), Boruch Meir Yaakov Shochet, resides in Givat Ze'ev, a Jerusalem neighborhood. Most of the Karlin-Stolin Hasidim reside in and near Jerusalem; there are also synagogues in Beitar Illit, Bnei Brak, Kiryat Sefer, Brachfeld, Safed, and Tiberias, as well as in the United States, in Borough Park, Brooklyn, Monsey, New York, Los Angeles, California, Lakewood, New Jersey, London, and in Ukraine and Belarus. Shochet has sixteen children, nine sons and seven daughters, all married. In Jerusalem some of the Karliner Hasidim wear the traditional garb of Jerusalem Haredim on Shabbat, the golden caftan.
