Zlotshov (Hasidic dynasty)
Zlotshov is the name of a Hasidic dynasty founded by Rebbe Yechiel Michel (died 1786), a disciple of the Baal Shem Tov, the founder of Hasidism. Zlotshov or Zlotshev is the Yiddish name of Zolochiv, a town in present-day Ukraine. Yechiel Mechel's five sons all founded their own branches of the Zlotshov dynasty. Descendant dynasties include the Zvhil, Skolye, Zvhil-Mezhbizh and Shotz dynasties.[1]
Rabbi Yechiel Michel Michlowitz (from Michalovce), known as the Zlotshover Rebbe of Netanya (died January 13, 2015),[2] claimed descent from the dynasty's founder, but his exact lineage is unknown.[1]
