Followers of Alexander Hasidic movement flock to Lodz
Over 300 Hasidic Jews flocked to the small village of Aleksandrow Lodzki , central Poland, to pray at the tomb of their spiritual leader Rabi Yerachmiel Yisroel Yitzchok Dancyger.
The occasion marks the 100 anniversary of Rabi Yerachmiel Yisroel Yitzchok Dancyger death.
The followers are visiting places significant to the Alexander Hasidic movement in Lodz and prayers at the tombs of their spiritual leaders.
The Alexander Hasidic movement flourished in Poland from 1880 until it was crushed by Nazi Germany during World War II.
The Alexander Hasidim were the second largest Hasidic group in pre-war Poland. The Alexander Dynasty was reborn mainly in Israel, but there are several communities in the USA, Belgium, London and Australia.

The only downside to going to Lodz is that the murderers will profit from the visit
