== History of the Chassidus == The founder of the dynasty, Rabbi Aharon Roth, from the city of Satmar, built his approach on holiness, chassidus, and abstinence, and praying with a loud voice, particularly when responding "Amen." He authored the books 'Shomer Emunim' and 'Shulchan HaTahor.' After his passing, the chassidus split. The majority of chassidim appointed his son-in-law Rabbi Avraham Yitzchak Kahn as the Rebbe of Toldos Aharon. Another portion of chassidim crowned his son Rabbi Avraham Chaim Roth, who also inherited his beis medrash, as the Rebbe of Shomrei Emunim. This Rebbe resided in Bnei Brak. During the Rebbe Rayatz's visit to Eretz Yisrael, Rabbi Aharon and his son Rabbi Avraham Chaim visited him several times and merited to have private audiences. In the writings of Shomrei Emunim chassidus, it is related that once Rabbi Aharon Roth met with the Rebbe Rayatz, and they looked at each other for an entire hour without speaking at all. When Rabbi Aharon left, the Rebbe Rayatz said [about Rabbi Aharon]: "He has mesiras nefesh like me." Rabbi Avraham Chaim of Shomrei Emunim maintained correspondence with the Rebbe for decades. They never met face to face because Rabbi Avraham Chaim never visited the United States, but his sons, the Rebbes, visited the Rebbe at 770 several times on his behalf. After Rabbi Avraham Chaim's passing, all his sons were appointed as Rebbes according to his will. According to his will, his second son Rabbi Shlomo was appointed as the central Rebbe, and most of the chassidim flocked to him after his passing, with the center of the chassidus being on Meah Shearim Street in Jerusalem. Rabbi Avraham Chaim's additional sons were appointed as Rebbes in Bnei Brak, Ashdod, and Kiryat Gat. His eldest son, Rabbi Refael Aharon, who led his court in Bnei Brak, passed away in 5780 (2020), and Rabbi Refael Aharon's eldest son filled his position.
