CREEDMOOR (from Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in Queens, NY)
The Boirye Oilamois meCreedmoor, so known because he actually creates Chassidim with addresses and Social Security numbers, who are accepted by the most prestigious social welfare agencies and insurance firms throughout the world, is one of the most under the influence Rebbes of today!
In all seriousness, that Wikipedia list is too detailed as it includes many chassidis’n that are long gone. Most of them disappeared during the churban, and most of their followers found their way to a larger chassidis from the same source (ie the Kotzker offshoots to Ger, Ujhil to Satmar, the Chabad offshoots back to Lubavitch, etc. Skvere has no one from Skvira, Ukraine left, and Satmar was a new chassidis before the war.) At least two errors – Nitra and Kashoi are not chassidish.
