his thirty two years as Rebbe, R' Avraham Menachem expanded the Aleksander community in four countries, and built a seven story and well respected yeshiva in Bnei Brak Israel. The yeshiva was the rebbes pride and joy, reviving the Aleksander Yeshiva system destroyed in the Holocaust. He died in 2005 shortly following the holiday of Purim. In accordance with Rabbi Avraham Menahem’s will, the eldest son, Rabbi Yisroel Zvi Yoir Dancyger, was appointed Aleksander Rebbe.

R' Shneur Zalman, the younger brother of R' Yisroel, settled in Cleveland, where he and his son R'Yerachmiel Yisroel Yitzchak are leading a Hasidic Kehilla that was warmly welcomed by the local Jewish Community.
