  • Aleksander (Yiddish: אלעקסאנדער) is a Polish Hasidic dynasty originating from the city of Aleksandrow Lodzki, Poland, where it was founded by (d. 1848). Aleksander is a branch of Vurka, as Shraga Fayvel Dancyger was a leading disciple of Rabbi Israel Yitzhak Kalish of Vurka. Prior to the Holocaust, Aleksander was the second to largest Hasidic group in Poland. They attracted artisans, merchants and water carriers rather than elite Talmudic scholars and richer people who were attracted to Ger. Like the rest of Polish Jewry, almost all of Aleksander hasidim were murdered in the Holocaust. Between the world wars, Hasidic Jews from all over flocked to the small village of Aleksander to spend the holiest days of the Jewish year in the presence of their spiritual leader, their rebbe, Rabbi Yitzchak Menachem Dancyger (1879–1942). The Rebbe of Aleksander attempted to remain neutral in political issues while emphasizing communal prayer and the study of Torah. He was murdered by the Germans on September 5, 1942, eight days before Rosh Hashana, at Treblinka extermination camp. Today, Aleksander has emerged from the ashes of the Holocaust and continues growing in numbers in small communities in America, Europe and Israel (including a small, but growing community in Melbourne, Australia).

Byli to Jechiel, Jerachmiel Izrael Izaak, Szmuel Cwi Hirsz zwany Tiferes Szmuel oraz Izaak Menachem Mendel Danziger. Ostatni z nich zginął w obozie zagłady w Treblince w 1943 r. Obecni kontynuatorzy tradycji tej dynastii chasydzkiej rezydują w Bnei Brak w Izraelu. Od 2005 r. cadykiem Aleksander jest Izrael Danziger, syn i następca Abrahama Menachema Danzigera, który w 2006 r. odwiedził Łódź i Aleksandrów. (pl)
