The Pittsburgh Hasidic Community

Pittsburgh Hasidic Dynasty was created in 1924 in the US, by Rabbi Yosef Leifer. He was originary from Hungary, being a descendant of Rav Mordechai of Nadvorna. 
Since 1970, the headquarters of the dynasty were moved to Ashdod, with groups of Hasidim living in Bnei Brak and Jerusalem. 
One of the specificities of these Hasidim is the beautiful niggunim.
Here is a short video about the dynasty, one of the five Hassidic groups created in the US - Boston, Cleveland, Milwaukee and Philadelphia.
