Amshinov (Yiddish: אמשינאוו) is a dynasty of Hasidic Judaism founded in the town of Mszczonów, Poland, called "Amshinov" in Yiddish. It was founded by Yaakov Dovid Kalish, the son of Israel Yitzhak Kalish. Amshinov is a branch of Warka Hasidism, itself a branch of Peshischa Hasidism. This lineage traces back to Simcha Bunim of Peshischa (1765-1827), who was the teacher of Israel Yitzhak Kalish.
