Chasidim of Kazimierz

[Yiddish, Kuzmir chasidim] - A Chasidic dynasty originating in Kazimierz Dolny, on the Vistula, known especially for its contribution to the development of Chasidic music.
It was founded by Yechezkel ben Tsvi Hirsh Taub of Kazimierz (?-1856), a pupil of Yaakov Yitzhak Ha-Levi Horovits of Lublin. Born in Plonsk, he was involved in small trade. After settling in Kazimierz Dolny, he declared himself tzaddik. He was particularly valued as the author of calm, lyrical musical compositions.
His successors, his sons and grandsons, were also gifted musically; they became tzaddikim in various towns, primarily in Mazovia. His oldest son, David Tsvi (?-1882), the pupil of Menachem Mendel Morgenshtern of Kock, founded a Chasidic group in Jablonowo, and a grandson of Yechezkel Taub of Jablonowo settled in Palestine in 1925 with a Chasidic group. He founded an agricultural community ruled by religious laws in the Ezekiel Valley.

Yechezkel Taub's son, Shmuel Eliyah (?-1888), settled in Zwolen, where he gathered his followers and founded a dynasty. Like his father, he composed. His son, Moshe Aron (?-1918), first took over his father's group in Zwolen, and then moved to Nowy Dwor Mazowiecki. Shmuel Eliyah's grandson, Chaim Taub (?-1942), who perished in Treblinka, led Chasidic groups in Zwolen, Mlawa and Warsaw.
He composed many popular melodies played by Chasidic groups in central Poland, like his uncle, Eliezer Shlomo of Wolomin (?-1938), Yechezkel's grandson. Another one of Shmuel Eliyah's grandsons, also named Shmuel Eliyah (1905-1984) led the Chasidim of Deblin who settled in Tel Aviv.
