Toldos Aharon is a devout, insular, fervently anti-Zionist Hasidic group. The group is characterized by extreme conservatism and a desire to preserve the life of the old Yishuv in Jerusalem, in sharp opposition to Zionism, in a strict Haredi way of life, in a special style of clothing, and in an emphasis on prayer at a moderate pace and with enthusiasm. Headquartered in Jerusalem's Mea Shearim neighborhood, it also has significant numbers in Ramat Beit Shemesh, and New York City,^[1] and additional members in Tiberias and in Harish.^[2] The sect has about 1,800 households.^[3] Toldos Aharon is a split-off from Shomer Emunim. It is led by its Rebbe, Dovid Kohn.
