The '''Dushinsky hasidic dynasty''' is one of the few [[hasidic dynasties]] not to be named after the place where it originated; instead, it is named after the surname of the Rebbe. It is a relatively new dynasty, as are many of the dynasties originating in [[Hungary]]. However, the Dushinsky dynasty truly became a dynasty in [[Jerusalem]], where it is centered today.
==Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky (1865-1948)==
{{main|Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky (1st)}}
The founder of the Dushinsky dynasty was Rabbi Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, son of Rabbi Yisrael Dushinsky. He was a disciple of the author of ''Shevet Sofer'', one of the grandchildren of Rabbi [[Moses Sofer]].
After his marriage to the daughter of Rabbi Mordechai Winkler, author of ''Levushei Mordechai'', Rabbi Dushinsky became the [[Chief Rabbi]] in [[Galanta]], [[Slovakia]]. In an epidemic during the [[First World War]] his first wife died childless and he subsequently remarried Esther Neuhaus, daughter of Rabbi Yoel Tzvi Neuhaus. He relocated to the town of [[Chust]], where he assumed the position of Chief Rabbi. In 1921, a son, Yisroel Moshe was born.
In 1930, the Dushinsky family moved to the [[British Mandate of Palestine]], settling in Jerusalem. Shortly after in 1932 came the death of the Chief Rabbi and founder of the [[Edah HaChareidis]], Rabbi [[Yosef Chaim Sonnenfeld]], leader of the [[Haredi]] community of Jerusalem. Rabbi Dushinsky was appointed as his successor. He founded a community of Hungarian Jews in Jerusalem, affiliated with the [[Perushim]] section of the Edah HaChareidis.
Rabbi Dushinsky was known for his strong opposition to [[Zionism]], and spoke to the newly-formed [[United Nations]] against the creation of the Zionist State. Rabbi Dushinsky died on the eve of [[Sukkos]], 14th of [[Tishrei]] 1948, shortly after the founding of the State of Israel. He was succeeded by Rabbi [[Zelig Reuven Bengis]].
==Yisrael Moshe Dushinsky (1921-2003)==
Rabbi Yosef Tzvi’s son Yisrael Moshe inherited his father’s position as Grand Rabbi of the Dushinsky community, and in turn also became the Chief Rabbi of the Edah HaChareidis. Under his leadership the Dushinsky community was steered towards chasidus. Rabbi Yisroel Moshe died in 2003 and was succeeded by Rabbi [[Yitzchok Tuvia Weiss]] as Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem and by his son, Rabbi Yosef Tzvi, as the present Grand Rabbi of Dushinsky.
==Dushinsky nowadays==
A famous student of Rabbi Yisroel Moshe, Rabbi [[Avrohom Yitzchok Ulman]], is one of the members of the Rabbinical Court (Badatz) which leads the [[Edah HaChareidis]]. He also leads his own ''[[beis din]]'', and is highly respected in Dushinsky, where he is regarded as the second most important person after the Rebbe.
In 2005 a new large synagogue was inaugurated. It was built behind the old building, on Shmuel HaNavi Street, and seats hundreds. The bochurim (unmarried young men) sit in a first-level balcony-like room, while only married men and their pre-[[bar mitzvah]] children sit in the main shul. Above the bochurim's balcony is another balcony for the women. The main synagogue is only used on [[Shabbos]] and holidays; on weekdays, a complex of four also brand-new smaller synagogues (''shtiblach'') in the basement of the building are used. The old synagogue, on the first floor of the old building, is now used for [[Tish (Hasidic celebration)|tishen]].
Rebbe Yosef Tzvi Dushinsky, who is the present leader of the movement, has appointed his younger brother Rabbi Mordechai Yehuda Dushinsky as rabbi of the Dushinsky community in the all-Chareidi town [[Ramat Beit Shemesh]] Bet. Aside from the Dushinsky communities in Jerusalem and Ramat Beit Shemesh, there are also smaller communities in [[Elad]], [[New York City|New York]]'s [[Boro Park]] district, and [[London]]. In 2007, new Dushinsky synagogues were built in [[London]] and in the [[Williamsburg]] section of [[Brooklyn]], [[New York]], and building began for a new [[Talmud Torah]] in Ramat Beit Shemesh Bet, in addition to the recently completed synagogue there. There are also a number of Dushinsky chassidim in [[Antwerpen|Antwerp]]; however, there is no Dushinsky synagogue there.
==Dushinsky minhagim==
Dushinsky has several special [[minhag]]im (customs), in things such as the style of dress and the [[nusach]] used. The [[nusach]] used, called ''nusach Maharitz'', is a mix of [[nusach]] Ashkenaz and [[nusach Sefard]]. This is not only the case with [[Shemoneh Esrei]], but also with other elements of prayer: for example, between Kabbolos Shabbos and Maariv on Friday night, both Bameh Madlikin and Kegavno are said, and on [[Sukkos]], the [[lulav]] is shaken both according to the nusach Ashkenaz and nusach Sefard minhagim. Tachanun is said according to nusach Ashkenaz. No vidui is said at Mincha, as per nusach Ashkenaz. However, Kaddish and Kedushoh are said according to nusach Sefard, and Boruch she'omar is said after Hodu.
Books held in high regard are the works of the [[Chassam Sofer]], the book ''Shevet Sofer'', and the collections of [[Torah]] commentaries by the previous rebbes: ''Toras Maharitz'' and ''Toras Maharim''. The study of mystical works is regarded as being secondary to studying [[Halacha]] and [[Gemara]].
Regarding Zionism, the book Vayoel Moshe, written by Rabbi [[Joel Teitelbaum]] of [[Satmar (Hasidic dynasty)|Satmar]], is regarded as authoritative and received a praising recommendation from both the previous Rebbe (the Maharim) and Rav Avrohom Yitzchok Ulman when a new edition was printed in 2002.
