Rebbe Avraham Landau, Rabbi of Ciechanów (1784-1875), was one of the most famed Polish Torah scholars in his times. Disciple of R. Aryeh Leib (Maharal) Zunz, he was famous for opposing the "clothing persecution" (changes in Chassidic dress sought by the government), together with the Chidushei HaRim. He studied Chassidic teachings under R. Simchah Bunim of Peshischa and R. Fishel of Strikov but he refused to become rebbe, acquiescing only after the passing of the Chiddushei HaRim of Ger. His four sons served as rebbe, including the progenitors of the Strikov dynasty that continues to this day.
