The Dushinsky Hasidic dynasty is one of the few not to be named for the place where it originated. Instead, it is the surname of their Rebbe. It is a relatively new dynasty, as are most of the dynasties originating in Hungary. However, the Dushinsky dynasty truly became a dynasty in Jerusalem, where it is centered today.

History The first Rebbe of the Dushinsky dynasty was Grand Rabbi Yoseph Tzvi Dushinsky. Rabbi Dushinsky was a disciple of the author of Shevet Sofer, one of the grandchildren of the Chasam Sofer. Eventually, after his marriage to the daughter of Rabbi Mordechai Winkler, the author of Levushei Mordechai, Rabbi Dushinsky became the Chief Rabbi of the town of Galanta, Hungary. His wife passed away, childless, in an epidemic during the First World War. Rabbi Dushinsky remarried to Rebbetzin Esther, the daughter of Rabbi Yoel Tzvi Neuhaus. He soon moved to the town of Chust, where he had assumed the position of Chief Rabbi. In 1921, they had a son, Yisrael Moshe. In 1930, the Dushinsky family moved to the Holy Land, and settled in Jerusalem. Shortly thereafter, the Holy City of Jerusalem was orphanned by the passing of the Chief Rabbi and founder of the Edah HaCharedith, Rabbi Yoseph Chaim Zonnenfeld, the Chief Rabbi of the Haredi community of Jerusalem. After the passing of Rabbi Zonnenfeld, Rabbi Dushinsky was coronated as the Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem by the Edah HaCharedith. Rabbi Dushinsky was known for his strong fights against Zionism, and spoke to the newly formed United Nations against the creation of the Zionist State. Shortly after the founding of that State, Rabbi Dushinsky passed away, on the fourteenth of the Hebrew month of Tishrei, the eve of the Jewish feast of Tabernacles, in 1948. He was succeeded by Rabbi Zelig Reuven Bengis as Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem by the Edah HaCharedith. As the Grand Rabbi of the Dushinsky Hasidic sect he was succeded by his son Rabbi Yisrael Moshe, who later also became the Chief Rabbi of the Edah HaCharedith of Jerusalem. Rabbi Yisrael Moshe passed away in 2003 and was succeeded by Rabbi Tuviah Weiss as Chief Rabbi of Jerusalem and by his son, Rabbi Yoseph Tzvi, as the present Grand Rabbi Dushinsky.
