Veretzky is aHasidic Jewish Rabbinical dynasty originating inNyzhni Vorota, Ukraine (known asVeretzky inYiddish), near theborders with Hungary andSlovakia. While the dynasty reestablished its court in the United States, a dynasty of the same name has been recently established in Israel as well.

Rabbi Moshe Ber Landau served as the rabbi anddayan (rabbinic judge) ofNyzhni Vorota. His son Rabbi Shalom Noach Landau served as the village's rabbi after him,^[1] while another son, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Landau, served as rabbi ofKhust. Rabbi Yitzchak Meir's son, Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Landau, also served as a rabbi, for a time in Nyzhni Vorota as well as inYaasin andNitra, from 1929.^[2] While both Rabbi Shalom Noach and Rabbi Yitzchak Meir were killed inthe Holocaust, Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga Landau was not, and emigrated to the United States after World War II, settling initially inWilliamsburg, Brooklyn.^[3]

In 1952, he moved to theMidwood neighborhood of Brooklyn and reestablished the community of his ancestors with the opening a synagogue called Khal Hisachdis Yirieim Veretzky, becoming known as the Veretzkier Rebbe. It moved to its current location on Avenue L and East 9th Street in around 1970. In 1980, Rabbi Landau arranged for moreminyanim to take place in the synagogue, turning it into a "minyan factory" (a synagogue withminyanim available throughout the day).^[3] In 1986, Rabbi Landau established a yeshiva that would become known as Yeshiva Ohr Shraga Veretzky, ayeshiva for Jewish children living in the neighborhood, which blossomed in the Mosdos Veretzky yeshiva network.^[4]

Rabbi Yechezkel Shraga died in 1996 and his son, Rabbi Aharon Tzvi Landau, known during his tenure as the Veretzkier Rav, succeeded him as rabbi of the community, a position he held until his death in 2003. He was succeeded by his son, Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Landau, who is the current Veretzkier Rav.^[3]

Rabbi Elazar Weiser of Veretzky served as a rabbi in Veretzky in the nineteenth century.^[a] His son-in-law was Rabbi Alexander (Sender) Yom Tov Lipa Eichenstein ofZiditshov, the son of RabbiYitzchak Isaac of Ziditshov whose son, Rabbi Yissachar Ber Eichenstein (1850-1924), served as rebbe in Veretzky for a short stint before becoming rebbe in Ziditshov. Rabbi Yissachar Berish's son, Rabbi Moshe Eichenstein (1874-1935), served as rebbe Veretzky for some time as well, as did Rabbi Moshe's son, Rabbi Eliyahu Eichenstein.

Today, the Veretzky chasidic court in Israel is likely an offshoot of theZiditshov chassidic dynasty, and it is unclear why its founder chose the Veretzky name. Its Rebbe, Rabbi Yitzchak Isaac Labin, resides inBnei Brak.^[8] He is the son of RabbiNaftali Tzvi Labin of Ziditshov^[9] and a distant relative of the Eichensteins.
