In 1984, a group of Hasidim seceded and crowned Rabbi Yechiel Menachem Singer as the Rebbe of Alexander in the United States. Rabbi Singer was the grandson of Rabbi Yitzchak Meir Singer, Av Beit Din of the city of Alexander and son-in-law of the Rebbe author of Tiferet Shmuel. He founded the yeshiva Tiferet Shmuel in Boro Park. He passed away in 1989 and his place was filled by his son, Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Meir Singer. He has synagogues in Bnei Brak, Lakewood, Williamsburg, Jerusalem and Ashdod, as well as the Tiferet Shmuel Yeshiva in Boro Park. His brother Rabbi Avraham Baruch Singer serves as Rosh Yeshiva of Tiferet Shmuel Yeshiva.
