Radzymin was a Polish Chasidic dynasty named after its founder Yaakov Aryeh Guterman's hometown of Radzymin.[citation needed]

History[edit]

Jews had first started settling in Radzymin in the middle of the seventeenth-century. By 1840 the community erected their first synagogue.[1] In 1848, after the death of Rabbi Yitzchok of Vurka,[2] Rabbi Yaakov Guterman founded the Radzymin dynasty and brought the teachings of the Baal Shem Tov to Radzymin making it a Chasidic centre.
