The head rabbis are also know as Admors (Hebrew אדמור, which is the acronym for "אדונינו מורינו ורבינו" "Adonaino Moraino V'Rabainu", "Our master, Our teacher, and Our Rabbi"), who are located in Monsey, New York and Bnei Brak in Israel.
Rabbi Mordechai Hager is the Viznitzer Rebbe in Monsey and Rabbi Moshe Yehoshua Hager is the Viznitzer Rebbe is Bnei Brak.
The Viznitzer Rebbe in Bnei Brak has two sons and four daughters. His daughters married famous Rabbis. One daughter married Rabbi Ernster, the Rosh Yeshiva of Viznitz Yeshiva in Bnei Brak. One daughter married the Skverrer Rebbe from New Square, NY. One daughter married the Belzer Rebbe from Jerusalem. And the other daughter married Rabbi Aaron Teitelbaum, Rabbi of Monroe, NY, son of the Satmar Rebbe from Williamsburg. His two sons, Yisroel and Mendel, will probably split the sect into two more groups after their father passes away (may he live to be 120).
