Information About

Oberlander Jews




Many were Haredi while not Hasidic , others were Orthodox while rather contemporary. Oberlander Jews had their own distinct form of Judaism , related to classic German pre-emancipation Orthodoxy. Oberlander Jews have contributed strongly to modern orthodox Jewish communities. Generally, Oberlander Jews were more likely to remain Orthodox than other Ashkenazim after post- World War II immigration to North America. Many of this group have become Hasidic after World War II and some have re-formed into Hasidic groups similar to the Satmar , Puppa being the best example.

The most revered rabbi amongst Oberlander Jews was the Chatam Sofer .

The Canadian Reichmann family are Oberlander Jews.
